Boat Propeller Tragedy and DUI Charges | Detroit News
Description
A heart-wrenching boating accident on July 27th left a 10-year-old girl critically injured after being struck by a propeller — allegedly while her tuber was being retrieved by a 45-year-old man who was later charged with operating while intoxicated. The child, airlifted to a children’s hospital, is expected to survive, but the incident underscores the deadly risks of boating under the influence. The driver, from Manton, is out on his own recognizance with a court date set for August 4th as authorities investigate whether alcohol impaired his judgment. This tragedy serves as a sobering reminder: safety on the water starts with staying sober and alert — because one moment can change everything.
