Hampton, NH (June 25, 2025) — A 19-year-old was gravely injured Monday afternoon while swimming at Hampton Beach during an outing with family.
News sources show Aiden Sloan, a Nashua teen and restaurant cook, was diving through waves when he struck an unseen sandbar head-on. The impact knocked Sloan unconscious, and he was left floating beneath the surface. His cousins, Michael Henry and Gabriel Ruiz, noticed something was wrong and dragged him to safety on the shore after realizing he wasn’t breathing.
Sloan was transported to a nearby hospital where he remains in intensive care. He sustained a concussion, a bruised spine, and a broken neck. His mother, Melina Burton, reported that he currently has minimal movement in his limbs and faces a long recovery ahead. A fundraising effort has been launched to help cover the medical costs.
