'The kid, he was letting me know, 'Help me, help me,'' said the fishing boat captain who helped bring the victims to a nearby dock.
Two women are missing after a group of 12 kayakers became stranded and then went over Bosher's Dam in Richmond, Virginia, on Memorial Day.
That good Samaritan, fishing boat captain John Callion, was on a charter boat nearby when the parasail lost control and raced toward the bridge. ."And then 30 seconds goes by, which seemed much longer, and nothing was changing. So then that's when we sprung into action.""The kid, he was letting me know, 'Help me, help me,'" Callion said."We got him in the boat immediately. And then we got the other kid that was unconscious. And then we got his mom in the boat."
The woman was pronounced dead at the scene after first responders attempted life-saving measures, police said. The boy regained consciousness and was transported to Miami Children's Hospital for treatment, authorities said. His current condition is unclear. The other boy suffered minor injuries, authorities said.
