Two ejected after boat crash on Alabama lake
A crash between two vessels on Lake Mitchell ejected two and injured one on Friday night, authorities have confirmed.
Around 7:15 p.m. on June 26, a 17-foot Bumblebee Bass boat collided with a 17-foot Nova Bass boat in Hatchet Creek on Lake Mitchell in Coosa County.
The collision caused the operator of the Bumblebee and a passenger to be ejected into the water. The passenger — 38-year-old Natasha L. Holt of Munford — was recovered from the water and transported to Baptist Medical Center East in Montgomery for treatment.
The others involved in the crash — 24-year-old Duncan Davis of Deatsville and 30-year-old Trevor Howell of Munford, the operators of the Nova and Bumblebee respectively — were not injured in the crash.
ALEA’s investigation into the incident is ongoing.
