Something going on in Alton

Very sad occurrence. Wonder if they forgot to release a dock line. I saw that happen last year at the docks, fortunately no injuries as the boat turned when held by the line.

That makes sense now. Couldnt picture how a sudden turn results in going overboard then getting run over. Seems like the person & motor would be going in opposite directions. A rope pulling tight might explain both.
Yikes.
