A teenage boy was killed in a boating accident on the James River in Virginia.
The collision occurred at approximately 10:00 AM on Sunday morning, October 17, 2010. Two vessels, a Sea Tow vessel and a 19-foot fishing boat collided about 50 feet north of the James River Bridge
A 13-year-old-boy and his father were enjoying a fishing trip when their vessel collided with a tow boat. The boy’s father and the pilot of the tow vessel were ejected into the water. The men were taken to Riverside Regional Medical Center by ambulance where they were treated for minor injuries. The boy died on impact. He was taken to a local hospital where he was pronounced dead.
The fatal boating accident is still under investigation. Coast Guard investigators have not determined who is at fault and what may have caused the two water vessels to collide.
The maritime attorneys at The Young Firm offer our condolences to the family of the deceased.
