boat accident
while not using a broad brush, however, seems that the pontoon boat was sitting still, the '72 year old' driver of the Sea Ray drove into the pontoon boat. Injuries were sustained to the '72 year old' while getting off his boat.
It appears certain that the '72 year old' driver should be cited for failure to maintain proper lookout and failure to stay clear by 150', etc. etc.
Could there have been mitigating circumstances that led to the '72 year old driver' to not see an apparently motionless pontoon boat?
before you bash, yes, I do realize and certainly have seen, that most accidents (and near-accidents) and violations are by a much younger and assumedly, inexperienced group.
certainly glad that, luckily, there were no injuries due to the collision.
