Kentucky Water Skier Killed by Boat at Williamstown Lake in Grant County, Kentucky
A water skier was killed in a Grant County, Kentucky lake on Friday after he was hit by another boat. The incident happened on Williamstown Lake, when the skier fell off of his skis and was hit by the boat before his friends could return to pick him up.
Bahe Cook Cantley & Jones wrongful death attorney Larry Jones says, "Boaters have a heightened duty to scan the water and maintain a careful lookout for skiers and swimmers who are in the water. Many times speed and alcohol combine to make boaters not as careful as they should be. Unfortunately, the result is death and serious injury."
