A woman’s hand was nearly cut off last weekend March 17th 2024, as she was crabbing aboard a boat off the Sonoma County Coast, authorities said.
Multiple agencies responded about 10:10 a.m. Sunday to a reported amputation, said Karen Hancock, Sonoma County Fire District community liaison.
The fire district, U.S. Coast Guard and California Highway Patrol arrived after the recreational fishing boat reached the Doran Regional Park boat launch, near the Miwok campground, and found the woman’s hand severely injured, but she said she “wasn’t in much pain and had sole feeling in her fingers,” Hancock said.
The woman was very calm, she added. It is currently unknown if the hand was saved.
