Two Fatal Accidents on Lake Cumberland, Labor Day Weekend
Two unfortunate and fatal accidents happened on Lake Cumberland over Labor Day weekend. The first, a boating accident, occurred early Sunday morning at 12:28 am when a boat struck the bank on Cemetery Island. The driver was killed after his 36 ft Baja Outlaw went airborne and overturned after striking the bank. His passenger was ejected from the boat and suffered multiple broken bones but no life threatening injuries. Alcohol and shear visibility in the dark night are suspected as a contributing factors in the accident.
The second fatality, an unrelated incident later Sunday afternoon, involved a woman drowning while swimming near a boat ramp. Both individuals in each incident were pronounced dead on the scene. These are both very unfortunate situations and our thoughts go out to the families. Yet another reminder that safety comes first while on the water. (BB)
