Don't normally spend much time on Fox, but found this Memorial Day Weekend story.

Another unfortunate collision between a pontoon and a runabout.

A pregnant woman and a young child were killed Saturday when their family's boat collided with a speedboat on a North Carolina lake.

Wildlife officials said a speedboat collided and went over the top of a pontoon boat around 12:30 p.m. Saturday on the northern part of the High Rock Lake near Linwood.

Sad to hear. I hate the way the media portrays the accident "They said the speed boat was driving well over 25 mph in a shallow part of the lake. No one on the speed boat was injured." If its not a pontoon or a jet ski it must be a speedboat.

Very sad news, but completely biased and uninformed reporting. Media always has to pick the villain and make him/her/it more villainous.

There is no speed limit on that lake. That was a damn near head on collision. It could very well have been the operator of the pontoon boat's fault; or not.

May well be just a lack of knowledge or understanding of the "Rules of the Road". Either or both could easily be at fault.

Sad day, condolences to the family and friends of the deceased.
