This is far beyond crazy, that stupid, irresponsible ,drunk ,asshole has successfully ruined a good family. The father/ husband is dead, mother has lost a leg, and god knows how the daughter is. Mentally, she’s scarred for a long while, if not her entire life. Never understood why people feel the need to haul ass at night on the water, intoxicated.I hope the asshole rots in jail

the investigation is not over

reported tonight that the pontoon was hit from the rear, they are reviewing GPS data to analyze angles, etc.

yet to be confirmed is the lighting on the boats

regardless of the details it’s a bad situation

Stone cold sober, boating at night takes a lot more skill, safety precautions, and proper lighting. No doubt this is a terrible thing. Add drinking into the mix and you’re asking for trouble. I’ve seen a lot of boats leave a sand bar at dark that should have been pulled over for improper lighting. Prayers to the surviving Mom and Daughter.
