A 10-year-old Long Island boy whose leg got caught in a boat propeller has died.
Nassau County police said on Sunday that the child succumbed to injuries suffered in the accident in Reynolds Channel just off the town of Lawrence.
Police say he fell into the water on Friday afternoon from a tube being dragged by a motorboat. The boy tried climbing into the boat when police say his left leg got stuck in the propeller.
Emergency responders freed him and rushed him to a hospital, where he died of his injuries early Saturday.
Authorities did not release his name.
