A tragic incident on Harris Lake has resulted in the death of a 10-year-old girl and critical injuries to a woman after a drunken boater crashed into a group of swimmers. Reports indicate that the boat operated by a man, who has a history of driving-related charges, contained 39 empty beer cans at the time of the accident. The vessel struck the swimmers, leading to the untimely death of the young girl and causing severe injuries, including the loss of a leg for another victim. Authorities have arrested the man and charged him with DWI and other offenses related to this heartbreaking event. The local community is mourning the loss, and a fundraiser has been initiated to honor the girl’s memory alongside plans for her funeral.
