There was a better blurb in Mondays Union Leader on page A6 (Obits section). Unfortunately, they didn't post a link to it online yet. It basically stated that the accident was still under investigation, but it was a low speed collision, resulting in only minor damage to both boats. The accident involved 2 family runabout boats, a 23' Maxum carrying 4 adults and 5 children, operated by a 37 yr old Tewksbury MA man, and a 25' Searay carrying 4 adults, operated by a 51 yr old Tyngsboro MA man. They ruled out alcohol as a contributing factor. I am just glad there were no serious injuries. It looks like a simple case of operator inattention. I wonder if either operator has completed the safe boater certificate.
