“It is basically a wide river, and it can get so crowded so fast, especially on a weekend where you’ve got boats passing for back and forth against each other,” said Assistant Chief Ken Campbell with Austin Travis County ESD #10\/Ce-Bar Fire Department.<\/p>\n

Forke fell off the boat, which ended up moving into a bank. Four people were taken to a local hospital with serious injuries<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The incident came just hours after another incident involving a jet ski and boat on Sunday where one person died.<\/p>\n

“This weekend was a very deadly weekend on our area lakes,” said Noak.<\/p>\n

In May, Kaden completed the eighth grade at Hudson Bend Middle School where he participated in athletics and was a member of the Audio Visual Production\/Broadcast program. His mother, Jennifer, currently serves as a monitor at LTE,” the statement reads.<\/p>\n
