WEST FALMOUTH, MASS.
A woman was taken to the hospital Friday evening with minor
injuries after a boat she was on struck some rocks off Chapoquoit Beach,
according to the fire department.
The fire department was called to the beach at 5:30 p.m. for
a report of a boat taking on water, Falmouth Deputy Fire Chief Timothy Smith
said.
A private towing service also responded to the scene and,
with the help of another privately owned boat, five people and a dog from the
damaged boat were transferred to the beach itself, Smith said.
From the beach, the fire department’s rescuers took the
injured woman to Falmouth Hospital, he said.
