CaringBridge/Vincent Koeing
(KWNO)-The parents of a Red Wing boy, who required life-saving measures following a boating accident, say his recovery is progressing well.
The CaringBridge website for Vincent Koeing says he was trapped underwater after the boat he was riding in suffered a mechanical failure and was struck by a barge near Red Wing Friday. The family says Vincent’s father Jeremy spotted him thanks to his bright-orange shoes.
The family says bystanders began CPR on Vincent until first responders arrived on the scene. Vincent was then flown to Rochester for further care.
Vincent’s mother says he did not have a heartbeat for 45 minutes.
A Monday update from the family says scans show the five-year-old did not suffer brain injuries. Vincent’s father and three other siblings were treated and released at the scene.
The Goodhue County Sheriff’s Office says all occupants were wearing their life jackets.
