Boat Crash Aftermath

[jeb]

Saw this while out fishing this morning on Beaver. Must have happened last night. Looks like it drove it straight in. Notice the glass and parts on the ledge above it. Busted chairs, some blood, not a pretty scene. Nothing on the local news about it so far.

Hope whoever's on the boat is OK. I'll bet alcohol has something to do with it!!

in related news, two boats collided on Rend Lake in Illinois and two people are dead. No other details have been released yet.

I reported it to KFSM. They're very interested. Hopefully they'll have more details on the news. Along with some of my pictures maybe.

_{I was wondering if anyone knows about the incident beside the owner of the boat.}

_{For all the times I've been out on the lake this year, I didn't see one patrol boat.}

I don't know about AR, but MO has a place to check out water patrol incident reports.

It doesn't appear that they were going fast enough to kill someone, but it would have caused some pain.

Somebody should know someone who could run the boat's AR number ??????

AR191DGD

[kwall]

Sad to hear bout this happening, boats sure are getting bigger, faster, more of them on the water

Please everyone think and operate your boat safely.

Is that right outside PC? Did you check with the Benton County Sheriff to see if they were aware of the accident?

[jeb]

Yeah, right outside of PC.

You know, I never gave a thought to it having not been reported. Man, I hope it was before I saw it. Could've been a body below it while I was taking pictures, I guess. KFSM for sure contacted the authorities about it, though. The way they sounded was like the LE agencies knew about it, but were being tight lipped. The person talking to me assumed that meant there was a death and they were trying to contact family first. But I did think it was kind of odd there was no indication of the cops having been there. Maybe they were tight lipped because they had no idea of what was going on?
