A fun afternoon on the water took a terrible turn on the Fourth of July, Southampton Town police said, but quick action may have saved a life.
On Saturday at 4:18 p.m., police received a report of an incident involving a passenger on a personal watercraft who had been pulled from Shinnecock Bay and was in cardiac arrest. The man was brought to the area by East End Jet Ski on Foster Avenue in Hampton Bays.
Police officers, the Community Response Unit, detectives, and the town’s bay constables, responded along with members of the Hampton Bays Volunteer Ambulance Corps and members of the Southampton Town Lifeguard Beach Rescue Unit.
