(OVID TOWNSHIP) – Two boats collided on Coldwater Lake over the weekend, killing an Indiana man.
Branch County Undersheriff Keith Eichler says their department was contacted at 11:15 PM Saturday about a collision between two speed boats on Coldwater Lake near Pearl Beach.
The Branch County Marine Patrol arrived and determined the incident involved a boat driven by a 15 year old from Fort Wayne, that ended up on top of a second boat, driven by a 46 year old Grabil, Indiana man. Authorities say the first boat had seven other passengers and the second boat had three other passengers.
