Boat
Capsizes in Hatteras Inlet; 4 Passengers Carried to Ocracoke Shore
On Friday, May 25, at
approximately 7 pm, a call came in to Hyde County Dispatch reporting a capsized
23' Grady White boat near the Hatteras Inlet. The 4 passengers of the boat were
carried by ocean current two miles south onto Ocracoke beach shore.
One patient was transported
to a local hospital via Coast Guard helicopter after receiving treatment from
Hyde County EMS and Ocracoke Volunteer Fire Department. He was reported to be in
serious condition at that time. The other three passengers did not need further
care at that time.
This was a collaborative
rescue effort by the Ocracoke Volunteer Fire Department, National Park Service,
US Coast Guard, and Hyde County EMS.
It was reported that the
boat capsized due to rough seas.
