A 13-year-old boy was hospitalized after a boating accident at 6:31 p.m. Sunday on Lake Tenkiller at Fishermen’s Point at Pine Cove.

Grayson Patrick Goodwin of Greenwood, Ark., was life flighted by Eagle-med to St. Francis Hospital in Tulsa and was listed in stable condition Monday with head injuries, Oklahoma Highway Patrol (OHP) Trooper Charley Batt of the Lake Patrol Detachment reported.

Batt reported Goodwin was driving a 2006 Honda Aquatrax and was leaving Pine Cove and going into the main body of water when his vessel was struck by a wake. Goodwin was catapulted into the air, over the handlebars, and struck his head on the handlebars before falling into the water.

Batt reported the boy was wearing a life vest and the vessel was equipped with all safety equipment.

Batt was assisted in his investigation of the accident by Tenkiller State Park rangers and the Sequoyah County Sheriff’s Department.

After an experiment that lasted several months, the editors at Your TIMES decided this week to end the practice of allowing anonymous comments on our website because most of the comments involve personal attacks and unfounded accusations. These comments do not add information to a story, or add any true insight. While we believe in the free exchange of ideas, it had become evident that was not what was happening in the comment section of our website. Readers can also become fans of Your TIMES on Facebook and may comment on our postings there. Readers are also encouraged to write letters to the editor to the newspaper about matters of public interest. The newspaper circulation is several times that of the web site, so readership is much higher. Letters must include a name and phone number so that we may contact the writer to verify authenticity of the letter. Letters are limited to 500 words and one letter per writer per month is accepted.
