Ski Boat Collides with Parked Barge on Mississippi River, Injuring Four
A ski boat collided with a parked barge on the Yazoo Diversion Canal, a part of the Mississippi River system, around 4:30 p.m. on a recent afternoon. According to a family member, the driver of the ski boat was distracted, leading to the vessel striking the corner of the barge. A nearby boater, Javier Brown, provided immediate assistance and attempted to tow the damaged ski boat to city front, approximately a mile away. However, the boat was taking on too much water, forcing the abandonment of the tow attempt. The ski boat subsequently came to rest on the bank of the Yazoo Diversion Canal. An adult male and three children were on board the ski boat at the time of the incident. All occupants were safely transferred to another vessel and transported to city front, where an ambulance was waiting. The incident is currently under investigation by local authorities.
