I keep looking, but haven’t been able to find any more information about this accident. Does anyone know what kind of boat/boats were involved in this accident?

They just found someone in the water a couple hours ago.  I imagine that all the details will be posted later this evening.

Looks like all were early 20s and in a runabout. Tragic. Driver survived and was able to get to a dock to call for help.

I want to know why they were out at 1:45am.  I’m sure booze was involved.

Hard to think that it wasn't involved somehow.  Beyond that, I always have so many questions that run through my mind on something like this other than kids just making bad decisions.  Did any of them know the lake, whose boat was it, could there have been a mechanical issue, etc, etc. I let my dog out at 4am and it was foggy as all get out, so was weather a factor?  Regardless, prayers up to those affected by this tragedy.
