A 13-year-old boy received minor injuries July 4 after Fish & Wildlife police say a pontoon boat ran into his boat docked at Massey’s Landing.

The crash happened at 3:45 p.m. when a pontoon boat was going too fast and ran into a docked boat, said Lt. John McDerby of the Division of Fish & Wildlife.

A boy, 13, and his mother were on the docked boat at the time of the crash; the boy was taken to Beebe Healthcare where he was treated for minor injuries, McDerby said.

The crash remains under investigation.
