WOLFEBORO — Two boaters were hit by boat after they were tossed from their craft when it hit the wake of a much larger boat.
Marine Patrol said Patrick, Christine and Eric Curry were riding in a 14-foot aluminum boat behind a larger boat that was generating a considerable wake.
When the Currys' boat hit the large wake, all three occupants were ejected. The boat didn't stop and swung around and struck Christine in the right leg and Erin on the left hip.
Marine Patrol officers said the boat was equipped with an emergency lanyard that, if worn properly, would have stopped the boat when they were ejected.
Patrick Curry was able to reach into the boat and shut it off by pulling on the lanyard.
The two women were taken to Huggins Hospital for treatment.
