# Surfer Saves Teen after Paddleboard Collision at Doheny State Beach
A couple months back, a 13-year-old boy nearly died at Doheny State Beach in orange County, CA. But thanks to the rapid action of a surfer, the boy survived.
River Glennon was bodyboarding when he was struck by a stand-up paddleboard. The impact was severe. River suffered a serious head injury; blood was pouring into the lineup; and he was going in and out of consciousness, bobbing in the water.
That’s when San Clemente surfer Chris Carroll spotted River’s body. And from there, he saved his life. Via GoFundMe, Carroll tells the tale of what went down.
