OLD SAYBROOK, Conn. — A boat docked at an Old Saybrook marina exploded while taking in fuel Friday morning, sending one person to the hospital with serious injuries.
Old Saybrook police, fire and EMS crews, as well as the Dept. of Energy and Environmental Protection's Environmental Conservation Police (DEEP EnCon), responded to Harbor One Marina for the reported boat explosion.
One person was taken to the hospital with serious but non-life-threatening injuries, DEEP EnCon said.
Currently, the boat is upside down and halfway in the water. Crews are working to get the boat upright to then off-load the fuel. There is fuel leaking into the water, and crews are containing the spill with a sorbent boom, DEEP EnCon said.
No other information was immediately made available.
This is a developing story. FOX61 has a crew at the scene and will update this story as more information comes in.
