The thrill of the UberSoca Cruise sailing adventure to St. Maarten was ruined on Tuesday when a male passenger’s lower leg was severed in a watercraft mishap.

According to police spokesperson Ethel woldus Josepha, the passenger in question was either exiting or boarding a water taxi when he unexpectedly slipped in between the pier and the water taxi, causing the blade from the vessel’s propeller to severely injure his leg.
