Authorities reported a 9-year-old girl from Jonesboro was injured in a boating accident on Norfork lake.
According to reports, last week the child was swimming and made contact with a boat propeller.
The incident happened near Big E Bluff. The report says the boat operator put the boat in reverse and did not know the young girl was returning to the boat.
The victim was airlifted to a Springfield hospital where she was treated for non-life threatening injuries and later released.
