A 13-year-old boy was seriously injured when he was attacked by an 11-foot shark off Southern California on Saturday. The unidentified teen suffered “traumatic injuries” to his upper torso while he was skin diving for lobster off Encinitas in San Diego County, officials said. He was aided by three nearby good Samaritans, including an off-duty lifeguard, who got the boy to shore in a kayak. Another lifeguard, sheriff’s deputies and paramedics rushed to the scene and the teen was quickly airlifted to the Rady Children’s Hospital in San Diego, Capt. When he and and his friends loaded the boy on the kayak and headed for shore, the huge shark followed them.
