Boat Crash!

There was a crash up on the northeast side. I had seen that one of the drivers lost his hat and reacted and caused the crash. From what I heard no one was seriously injured. But one person was brought to the hospital. Hope everyone is ok.

I heard it on KQ92 this morning. One of the guys from the boat that got hit was on and pretty shaky still. He said the boat went right over them and ripped out the seats. His one buddy was in the water and he was barely hanging on. The boat that hit them actually came back to help his friend out of the water. He was waiting to find out his condition and if he was going to have surgery. cry

I think he said it was outside of Castaways.

That radio segment is something everyone should listen to. We take a lot for granted when we are on the water and this shows how quickly a great day can turn into a trajedy. I hope his buddy makes it through okay.

Here is the link directly to the segment with the story. Like Musky Cranker said, the story begins at the 34 minute mark.

We were about 400 yds away and heard a big Smack and heard the motor rev up and then saw people in the water there were about 10 boats there instantly. Pretty scary!
