An Altamont man is airlifted to Carle hospital after a boating accident at Lake Sara in Effingham.
Michael Dirks, Lake Superintendent, said 24-year-old Ryan Beccue was standing up in a moving boat near Gypsy Cove Monday night.
He said the boat likely hit a wave which threw Beccue from the boat.
After being ejected, Dirks said Beccue was then sucked under the boat where he was cut by the propeller.
He said Beccue is doing okay but is awaiting surgery.
Dirks said this accident is a reminder to everyone to remain seated when a boat is in motion.
