WELLINGTON, Dec 27 (Reuters Life!) – A New Zealand woman is in critical condition in hospital after being crushed by a dolphin that leaped on to her boat, media reported on Wednesday.

The 27-year-old woman had been watching from the bow of the small boat cruising among the marine mammals off the North Island’s Coromandel Peninsula on Tuesday when the bottlenose dolphin landed on her, the New Zealand Herald said.

She suffered serious head injuries and was flown to hospital in Auckland.

The dolphin also smashed the boat’s windshield and bow rails before jumping back into the ocean, witnesses told the Herald.

Ford was born Leslie Lynch King on July 14, 1913, in Omaha, Nebraska. When he was just 2 years old, his parents divorced, and his mother moved to Grand Rapids, Michigan, where he grew up. His mother remarried, and he was adopted and renamed after his stepfather, Gerald Rudolph Ford.

Ford was a high school senior when he met his biological father, AP reported. He was working in a Greek restaurant, he recalled, when a man came in and stood watching.

“Finally, he walked over and said, ‘I’m your father,’ ” Ford said, according to AP. “Well, that was quite a shock.” But he wrote in his memoir that he broke down and cried that night and was left with the image of “a carefree, well-to-do man who didn’t really give a damn about the hopes and dreams of his firstborn son,” AP reported.
