There was a pretty serious wreck Saturday morning on Rodman that very luckily could have been MUCH worse. The driver of one boat spent the night in ICU with 11 fractures and his passenger was released the same day. The occupants of the other boat were unharmed.
We are not going to get on here an assign blame to any one but just to say this: ALLWAYS be aware of your surroundings! Boats don't have rear view mirrors so you have to look back to see if you are being over taken. Especially before stopping or turning. If you're passing someone assume they don't know you're there. Pass with caution and give as much room as you can. If you're in a creek or river try to pass on the outside unless both drivers know where you are. You should always know where all the other boat in front of you AND behind you are.
This wreck was Triton on Triton so excessive speed was not a factor. As a passenger in a boat you absolutely need to be helping the driver with the location of other boats.
Two feet to the right and we'd be discussing at least one fatality, so thank the Lord that didn't happen.
