A fishing crewmember was injured off of Nantucket on Thursday, according to the Coast Guard, which conducted a medevac and helped get him to Massachusetts General Hospital.

A 50-year-old crewmember on the fishing vessel Rachel Leah reportedly sustained facial injuries about 150 nautical miles off of Nantucket.

“It was reported that the 50-year-old crewmember sustained a large laceration on his face after a tight line was released and struck him,” the First Coast Guard District for the Northeast posted. “First aid was reported to be administered.”

A USCG Air Station Cape Cod MH-60 Jayhawk helicopter crew responded to the scene. Also, a HC-144 Ocean Sentry was launched due to the distance offshore.

“The patient was transported to the Mass. General Hospital Trauma Center in stable condition,” the First Coast Guard District posted.
