A $5,000 reward is being offered for information leading to the identification of the operator of a personal watercraft who ran into a Mount Laurel boy last month in waters off Ocean City, state police said.
The incident occurred July 20. The 17-year-old Mount Laurel boy was riding a personal watercraft at 11:30 a.m. when he was struck by another personal watercraft, police said.
The boy suffered a head injury, fractures and cuts. He was airlifted to Cooper University Hospital in Camden, where he spent a week in the intensive care unit, police said.
His identity was not released.
The operator of the other watercraft did not stop after the incident.
Anyone with information about the other person’s identity is asked to call the New Jersey State Police Marine Services Bureau in Atlantic City at (609) 441-3587.
