Man rescued from buoy after Canadian tanker hits stalled boat

摘要

The U.S. Coast Guard rescued a man from Lake St. Clair north of Detroit, Mich., after a loaded tanker ran into his stranded powerboat in the shipping channel. The Canadian-flagged Esta Des-gagnes hit the 17-foot powerboat at about 1115 on June 4, roughly two miles east of Grosse Pointe Farms. The recreational boat sank shortly after the impact and its lone occupant clung to a fixed aid to navigation, awaiting rescue. He was not injured.
