One person was seriously injured and another is facing felony charges after a boating accident on Monday at Lake Maloney, south of North Platte.

The Lincoln County Sheriff’s Office did not release many details on the incident but did say a juvenile sustained serious injuries to their leg and was flown to an undisclosed hospital after initially being treated at Great Plains Health.

LCSO says one person was arrested in the case and charged with felony intentional child abuse and operating a boat under the influence of liquor. According to jail records, the man arrested was 53-year-old, Douglas Haney.

The condition of the juvenile is unknown, but deputies say the injuries could be life-threatening.

This is a developing story and we will have more information when it’s available.
