The boat’s captain, a guy in his forties, was among the injured. Two additional victims had more serious wounds. Four men and four women, ranging in age from 21 to 51, make up the remaining victims.

Based on the data gathered, it appears that none of the victims were wearing any form of protective equipment. Adam Ramirez, the driver, was reportedly arrested in California on suspicion of boating while intoxicated. The victims of the boat crash are not locals.

Damage to the house and scattered objects on the lawn can be seen in photos taken at the scene. The police have called the destruction “extensive.“

Sunday morning found the 2014 Nor-Tech laying on its side on the yard where it had capsized the night before. As of that evening, police reported that it had been loaded onto a trailer and taken away.
