A commercial fishing vessel captain is hospitalized after a Friday morning boating accident in Gills Rock.  Sister Bay/Liberty Grove Fire Department Chief Chris Hecht says the "Heather J" crashed into rocks on the shoreline around 10 am.  Door County Emergency Services assisted firefighters in extracting the captain from the vessel, who was then taken to a Green Bay hospital.  His condition is not known at this time, and the boat suffered damage to the bow.  Door County Sheriff’s Department, DNR, and the United States Coast Guard also responded to the accident scene, which is still under investigation.  DoorCountyDailyNews.com will have an update when more details are available.
