[/ QUOTE ] They should be allowed to confiscate the Boat when stupid stuff like this happens Hope the guy ran over recovers! [/ QUOTE ] Usually Gary, they do impound. Confiscate...?, usually only if there is drug involvement, or some type of crime involving a Federal statute, or something more serious in nature. If this ends up being a fatality, maybe, but doubtful. Maybe this state is different, but personal injury accidents that are the result of a DWI, the vehicle is impounded until the District Attorneys office releases it.

Team Realtree Posted July 6, 2006 Report Share Posted July 6, 2006 Re: Accident on the River Was he tubing at night? If that is the case, there would be issues with those guys. You can't and shouldn't do that. S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven Posted July 6, 2006 Report Share Posted July 6, 2006 Re: Accident on the River I admit my ignorance of boating laws, but could BWI jeopardize the guys driver's license? It should. Maybe that would stop some of these idiots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest cowpoke Posted July 6, 2006 Report Share Posted July 6, 2006 Re: Accident on the River A teenage kid from Iowa died in a boating mishap on the Mississippi somewhere a little ways north of Prairie du Chien, over the holiday. Somehow the kid got tangled in the rope used to pull some kind of tube and was pulled from the boat from what I heard on the radio this morning.
