Summary

Car Crash Charleston South Carolina in Charleston, South Carolina: Jeff Wiseman was boating on the Ashley River in Charleston, South Carolina, when he became distracted by his phone and struck an old abandoned dock, sending him and his one‑and‑a‑half‑year‑old golden retriever, Rocky, into the water about half a mile south of Dolphin Cove Marina. Jeff swam to shore searching for Rocky but could not locate him. Local authorities assisted in the search; Jeff was taken to a hospital where he suffered seven broken ribs.
