Van Buren County Boating Accident

Posted on July 18th 2009

I have written a number of articles on boating accidents and tubing injuries in Michigan.  While the Michigan lakes provide great summer fun, there is a significant risk of injury with water sports.  I just read a terrible news story about a Van Buren County boating accident that has seriously injured two teens from Illinois.

According to the report, three boys were on tubes behind a speed boat when two of the tubes collided and then struck the third tube.  The boys were thrown from the tubes and suffered serious injuries.  My thoughts go out to the boys and their families and I hope for a speedy and full recovery.
