A 60-year-old Carlsbad man may have broken his neck today, Sarturday, June 5, 2010, after diving from his board in shallow water, according to a story in the San Diego Union-Tribune.
[The man] may have fractured his neck when he hit his head on the ocean bottom, Oceanside Police Lt. Mike Goldsmith said. . . . Another surfer saw the surfer floating in the water and dragged the man to the surfline, where lifeguards began resuscitating the man with CPR. . . The man was taken by air ambulance to a local hospital and is expected to survive.
Our thoughts are with the man’s family and friends.
