My friend said there was fog but it happened later in the morning
.
News said it was mis communication on which way each one was going .

Just another statistic supporting "driver's" licenses for boaters. I think it should be required just like a DMV driver's license. Every time I am on the water, I see idiots doing dangerous stuff on their boats. It's a wonder there aren't more reports like this one.
I only sympathize with the family of the deceased.

Both boats were going at least 45 mph, seems like rules of the waterway were not followed. No time to just shut the boats,I just have to catch the biggest bass right now. Sad situation for sure, Prayers for their families.

When coming face to face with another boat always take to your Right side when coming up to a boat crossing your path the boat to the right has the right of way...very simple

It's not quite that simple, G.
I know people who would have to take their hands off the wheel ... imagine themselves writing ... just to determine which side is the "right" or "left" side.

I never saw any other pics or videos posted about accident. Other stories just showed same boat.

There's only one side of that story that can be told & just my opinion (I did not see the other boat) but my 1st thought was it didn't look like a head on to me from the damage I seen on the one boat....
Either way if the one sided story is NOT true he will pay for it eventually......
For sure a sad sad ordeal....

Yeah seeing the boat in pic it was about cut in half side to side.

Terrible and sad situation for sure.

Need a speed limit on water at 30mph max.We have a set limit on all highways and streets.Why not on water?
