NANTUCKET, MA – What was originally thought to be a boat collision off the coast of Nantucket was an accident involving a sailboat boom, the Coast Guard said. A man was evacuated from his boat with a head injury after he was hit by the boom.
He was taken to an ambulance at Station Brant Point, according to the Coast Guard.
