Richard Wade Tesar, 30, was flown to University of Maryland Shock Trauma Center in Baltimore for treatment.
The 911 call came into Maryland Natural Resources Police shortly after 1 a.m. Tesar was aboard a 22-foot pleasure boat with six other people. He went to jump off the boat and slipped on the edge, causing him to fall awkwardly and break his neck.
First responders from the Ocean City Fire Department stabilized him and transferred him to a Coast Guard boat. He was brought to shore, where Trooper 5 had landed.
Maryland Natural Resources Police continues its investigation.
No alcohol involed in this mishap!
ReplyDeleteHa!
This is a wonderful young man. Your comment is unnecessary
DeleteAgreed....
DeleteAlcohol was a factor?
ReplyDeleteSad, no matter what you need to be careful. Slipping on water or alcohol doesn't matter this young guy is looking at some serious problems,we need to pray for him.
ReplyDelete8:34 exactly!
ReplyDeleteYou guys are stupid, to assume what you don't know.
ReplyDeleteNothing good ever happens after midnight.
ReplyDeleteYep, we may not know the details but we DO know that!
DeleteI don't agree, our family goes to Assateague all the time to watch shooting stars till 3:40 in the morning and it's the most beautiful wonderful thing ever
DeletePeople won't don't you say a prayer for this gentleman. Instead of assuming the wrong information.
ReplyDeletePraying for complete healing. God bless 🙏
ReplyDeleteDoes it matter what was involved, this man is one of our own here in OC, very loved, well known, upstanding, amazing friend and father. Extremely heart wrenching to know our friend might be paralyzed. Praying for recovery, praying for his family too!
ReplyDeleteSending good karma.
ReplyDeleteWow. Hope he's okay. Its weird how just a slip second can change a person's life forever. Sending much love and warm wishes to him and his family.
ReplyDeletePraying for you young man!

ReplyDeleteWishing him a positive prognosis and excellent doctors. Unless he was driving that boat prior to his fall alcohol consumption is irrelevant.
ReplyDeleteprayers sent to him and his family!!
ReplyDeleteI don't know if alcohol was involved or not, but even if it was, no one "deserves" to be paralyzed even if he was drinking. I am praying for this man and his family.
ReplyDeleteRegardless it was a accident. I'll be praying for this young man, and his family.
ReplyDeleteI'll also pray for those that seem to have forgotten about empathy for families going through tuff times.
