Dredge worker medivac’d after North Carolina grounding

A crew member broke his leg when his tug-dredge unit went aground in Oregon Inlet, North Carolina in mid-August. 

Responders from Coast Guard Station Oregon Inlet were dispatched to the scene after an emergency call from the dredge Cooper River. Coast Guard members, after stabilizing the leg, evacuated the crewman by motor life boat to a nearby EMS team.

The official injury was classified as a broken femur.
