RINDGE, N.H. — The New Hampshire Marine Patrol is trying to find out what caused a personal watercraft explosion on a lake in Rindge.
The explosion happened Sunday afternoon on Lake Monomonac.
A brother and sister were on the watercraft and were thrown into the water. The operator was identified as 31-year-old John Howe Jr. He and 29-year-old Emily Howe suffered non-life-threatening injuries. They were from Sterling, Mass.
The Marine Patrol said the two had launched the watercraft and were about five feet from the boat launch when they pressed the ignition and were ejected 10 feet from the vessel. Someone helped them to shore; they were wearing personal flotation devices.
