Dorff Boat Severs Girl's Leg


Actor STEPHEN DORFF shocked New Year's vacationers on a Caribbean beach as a speedboat he was travelling in ran over a 21-year-old woman and severed her leg with its propeller.

Holiday-makers in St. Barts, St. Lucia, looked on in horror as LAUREN PETERS was swimming close to the shore on New Year's Eve (31DEC00) when one of the yacht's tenders was suddenly pushed into her by a wave.

An eyewitness reports, "There was blood everywhere. It looked like a shark attack. People were throwing up and fainting." Fortunately, DR. HOWARD SOBEL, an American dermatologist, happened to be nearby and rushed to the striken woman's aid, staunched the flow of blood, and saved her life.

Peters was then rushed to a hospital on St. Barts before being air-lifted to L'HOSPITAL DE MEYNARD on nearby Martinique, where doctors began to reattach her leg. (CPT/WNWCPS/RP)
