PAW PAW TOWNSHIP (WKZO-AM/FM) — A 53-year-old Kalamazoo man is hospitalized after a collision between two personal watercraft Tuesday in Paw Paw Township’s Eagle Lake.
Marine deputies with the Van Buren County Sheriff’s Office say it could have been much worse, however.
The collision happened after 2 p.m. He and a 31-year-old Ohio woman were ejected from their watercraft, as was a passenger riding with the woman. That passenger performed rescue breaths on the man after he was found face down in the water and not breathing.
The man was treated for broken bones and cuts on his face after arriving at Bronson Methodist Hospital in Kalamazoo.
