Police find boater who hit kayaker

Lakewood police have found the boater who hit a kayaker Sunday on 
American Lake, leaving the 14-year-old critically injured.
After interviewing the boater, police said Friday the collision was not 
intentional, negligent, or reckless. Lt. Heidi Hoffman says it will be 
up to the Pierce County prosecutor to decide whether to file charges.

The 14-year-old, David Kenny "DK" Ross, suffered severe head injuries 
and doctors had to remove his ruptured spleen.

He's reported in critical condition Friday at Mary Bridge Children's 
Hospital in Tacoma.
