A woman is dead and several others were injured after the boat they were on capsized early Friday morning amid high winds and waves in Lake Michigan.
A woman is dead and several others were injured after the boat they were on capsized early Friday morning in Lake Michigan.
"About three o’clock this morning, we had a huge increase in wind and wave activity. We went from a one to a three knot wind up to gusts over 30 miles an hour. We went from wave heights up to six inches to a foot, so it made rescue and recovery a lot more difficult because of the conditions."Seven adults, all between the ages of 20 and 40, were onboard when the boat reportedly slammed into a break wall and capsized as it was returning to shore.
Experienced boater Ted Widen says navigating Lake Michigan’s massive break wall in the dead of night demands experience. A capsized boat was discovered near navy Pier on Lake Michigan after six people were rescued from it and a woman was killed.
