re: Charges Possible In False River Party Barge Hit & Run

Am I the only one reading this thinking the ada wasn’t at fault.

Guy pulling children turn directly behind boat.

Why’s the guy getting all the hate?

If the story is correct (two boats side by side and he turns, hitting the tube behind the other boat) then he’s probably at fault. If you’re driving within a ski rope’s length of another boat, you really ought to have the awareness to see that the other boat is pulling a tube.

But there could could certainly be other important details that we are missing. If the other boat pulled up beside him and boxed him in, I can see how he might not have seen the tube.

There’s really no excuse for two boats pulling tubes to be that close to each other. Especially on False River, which is like a half mile wide.

ETA: Not on a Tuesday, apparently.
