Alex Otte was 13-years old when a drunk boater ran her over as she sat on her jet ski. Her injuries were so severe she was not expected to survive. In ALEX OTTE, NASBLA and Operation Dry Water present Alex’s story of how one person’s choice to drink alcohol while boating led to her almost losing her life and having to adapt to a new way of life with the injuries she sustained.
