I don’t have a lot of details and no first hand knowledge. Reports include amputations as well. People in scene said a other boat went through this one at a high rate of speed - while in 5 mph zone. Jet skiers came to render aid.
There has been a bunch of people on a Facebook group I read saying that the south shore boating volume has been way up this year as it’s a madhouse every weekend. Reports are that there are a lot more incidents and that law enforcement is simply overwhelmed. Speculation is there are a lot of new boaters this year that don’t know what they are doing, or don’t care.
This is a terrible loss. Be careful out there.
