Jet Skier Uses Cell Phone To Call In Rescue
BRIGANTINE, N.J. (AP) ―
The Coast Guard needed a helicopter to rescue a New Jersey man after his personal watercraft ran aground.
The Coast Guard says Robert Cook was riding his Jet Ski near Brigantine Bridge in Brigantine Bay when the tide went out Tuesday night.
The Egg Harbor City resident used his cell phone to report he was in trouble.
Shallow water prevented a rescue boat crew from reaching Cook.
A helicopter transported Cook to the Coast Guard Air Station in Atlantic City, were he was met by family members.
No one was injured.
