SOUTH HAVEN (WKZO-AM) — An accident on Lake Michigan near Van Buren State Park has put a teenager into the hospital with multiple injuries.
Van Buren County Sheriff’s deputies said one teenager was piloting a Jet Ski towing a tuber late Saturday afternoon with 19-year-old Conner Carruthers from Grand Rapids riding on the back of the personal watercraft as a spotter.
Somehow, Carruthers was tossed from the jet ski and became entangled in the rope and was dragged along through the water.
He was admitted to South Haven Hospital with a fractured leg, abrasions and bruises and is expected to recover.
