An investigation is underway into how a local man was injured in a boat accident this morning. It happened just after 11 on the Ross Barnett Reservoir, just north of highway 43.
The Mississippi Department of Wildlife fisheries and Parks tells us the two boats collided.
An elderly gentleman in one boat was apparently hit in the head and knocked unconscious.
He was hospitalized but we don't know what his name is or his condition.
Wildlife officers did talk to the driver of the other boat, but no charges have been filed.
Accident reconstructionists are trying to determine how the boats made contact.
