Video shows racers thrown from powerboat in rough Florida Keys waters

Janine Stanwood , Anchor/Reporter

MARATHON, Fla. – Wild video making the rounds online shows a powerboat spinning out in rough waters in the Florida Keys. In seconds, two people are seen being ejected from the vessel and thrown into the water.

It happened over the weekend in Marathon at Race World Offshore’s 7 Mile Grand Prix, a 5.6-mile course for gas-guzzling, high-energy powerboats.

Rob O’Connell and Ervin Grant were the ones thrown off the 27-foot boat sponsored by Team Farnsworth, based in Pompano Beach.

“We caught a pretty good hit. When we came back on the water, we had a steering ram fail on the outdrive that caused us to hook,” O’Connell said. “We both got thrown out of the boat, far away from the boat. It could have rolled over or pinned us under; thank God it just spun.”

Seconds after the crash, Jack Carlson of Two Conch Charters was there with a private medical team to pluck the pair out of the water.

“We quickly got them to the Coast Guard station in Marathon, and EMS took them away,” Carlson said.

U.S. Coast Guard crews could be seen patrolling the waters but were not involved in the transport, an agency spokesperson told Local 10 News.

O’Connell said he and Grant were shaken but eventually realized they were able to move their extremities. Aside from a bruise and laceration on Grant’s foot, they escaped largely unscathed.

Larry Bliel, organizer of Race World Offshore, told Local 10 the race started late and was called off early because of weather on Sunday.

Team Farnsworth owner Win Farnsworth said racing events are for enjoyment and are largely done on a part-time basis.

“It’s to build camaraderie between our teams,” he said. “The last thing we want is anybody hurt.”

O’Connell said he’s in the process of repairing the boat and getting ready for the next race.

“It wasn’t the most optimal conditions, but if you ask a bunch of powerboat racers: ‘Do you want to go, or do you want to stay in shore?’ Ninety-nine percent are going to say, ‘Let’s go,’” he said.

VIDEO: Dramatic double boat flip kicks off Race World Offshore Key West Championships

powerboat crash video

KEY WEST, Fla. (AP) — Offshore powerboat racers Billy Mauff and Jay Muller have piloted WHM Motorsports to lead the Super Cat-class after the first of three competition days at the Race World Offshore Key West Championships in the Florida Keys.

Mauff, of East Setauket, New York, and Muller, of Lake Hopatcong, New Jersey, easily placed first, leading at Wednesday's start and never looking back.

CR Racing, with Robert Unnerstall of Wentzville, Missouri, and Casey Boaz of Osage Beach, Missouri, leads the Super Stock class.

A dramatic two-boat accident occurred on the fifth lap of the Super Stock race. LPC and Team Allen Lawn Care landed upside-down between Turns 2 and 3.

Officials say several crew members were transported to a local hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

Racing is to continue Friday with finals on Sunday.

Powerboat crashes in racing championship off Key West. At least one hospitalized

At least one person was taken to the hospital after a vessel taking part in an annual powerboat race off Key West crashed Wednesday morning, according to the police.

It was not immediately known if the person was a member of the racing boat’s crew. Key West police spokeswoman Alyson Crean confirmed the person was hospitalized and was being evaluated to possibly be flown to a mainland hospital for treatment.

The boat was participating in the Race World Offshore World Championship, which ends Sunday. Some of the boats can reach speeds of up to 160 mph, according to the Monroe County Tourist Development Council.

“A portion of the challenging 4.4-mile-per-lap course runs through Key West Harbor, meaning smooth water where racers can achieve breathtaking speeds and fans can watch from vantage points that are extraordinarily close to the action,” the TDC said in a press release about the race.

Representatives with Race World Offshore have not returned emailed and phone messages for comment.

The Florida Fish and Wildlife Agency, which typically investigates boat crashes, nor the Coast Guard, investigate accidents at league-sanctioned races, sources with those agencies said.

This story will be updated as more information becomes available.

Here's the latest on the Fox River powerboat-paddleboat crash in Oshkosh

OSHKOSH – A 52-year-old Oshkosh man has been arrested and awaits charges after the Winnebago County Sheriff's Office says he crashed his 45-foot powerboat into the side of a two-story "commercial stern-wheel pleasure cruise" paddleboat July 9 and fled the scene.

The sheriff's office released the crash report July 21.

The man has not yet been charged in court, and officials say the investigation is ongoing. USA TODAY NETWORK-Wisconsin typically does not identify suspects until they have been charged.

What's the latest in the case?

The investigation remains ongoing, but the sheriff's office said July 21 it believes all 43 occupants of the paddleboat and all seven occupants of the powerboat have been identified.

The boat owner and operator had a bail hearing at 2:30 p.m. July 13. He was released on $10,000 cash bond, under conditions that he maintains "absolute sobriety," does not leave Wisconsin, surrenders his passport to the Winnebago County Sheriff's Office and follows the county's 24/7 sobriety program, according to the Winnebago County Clerk of Courts Office.

The sheriff's office asks anyone with additional information to call 920-236-7316.

When and where did the crash happen?

The boat crash occurred shortly before 10 p.m. July 9 on the Fox River, between the Oregon Street and Wisconsin Street bridges in Oshkosh.

How did the boats crash?

According to the crash report, the paddleboat was headed downstream on the Fox River, while the powerboat was headed upstream. People aboard the paddleboat and camera footage from the nearby bridges saw the powerboat "make reckless maneuvers" before heading straight towards the paddleboat, failing to yield the right of way. The powerboat did not activate its navigation lights, and just before impact turned in an apparent attempt to avoid hitting the paddleboat.

The port side of the powerboat collided with the port side of the paddleboat, which had 43 passengers and crew members on board.

The sheriff's office listed reckless operation, alcohol use, excessive speed, improper lookout, navigation rules violation and operator inattention as contributing factors to the crash.

Was anyone injured?

While the sheriff's office initially reported that seven passengers aboard the paddleboat were injured, the crash report listed that 14 people aboard the paddleboat were injured. Only one person was sent to the hospital.

The person had a back laceration that required medical treatment beyond first aid, according to the crash report.

What happened after the crash?

The powerboat fled the scene after the crash. According to the sheriff's office, witnesses and surveillance video found that seven people were on board the powerboat before and after the crash, indicating that none of the occupants fell overboard.

The paddleboat had "severe damage" to its side but made it safely to the south shore of the Fox River, where all occupants got off the boat, the sheriff's office said. It sustained damage to the deck, railing, windows, lower tier frame and chairs and tables on board, the crash report said.

The powerboat sustained damage to its front and left side, including fiberglass hanging from the hull and the lower unit missing from one of the engines, according to the crash report.

Several agencies assisted the Winnebago County Sheriff's Office in trying to find the powerboat, its owner and occupants the night of the crash but were unsuccessful.

Officials identified the boat owner and operator through boat registration records, Winnebago County Sheriff's Detective Capt. Todd Christie said. He was arrested July 12.

Loos Cruises, the operator of the paddleboat, has stopped booking reservations until further notice, according to its website .

What charges does the powerboat owner face?

The boat owner has not yet been formally charged, but the Winnebago County Sheriff's Office said he was arrested on 12 counts of second-degree recklessly endangering safety — a class G felony — and 11 counts of failing to render aid after a boating accident.

Key West World Powerboat Championship: Racer Jeffrey Tillman Killed By Incompetence (Video)

The crash killed two men It was one of the most spectacular and horrible crashes in South Florida marine history. A powerboat traveling more than 130 miles per hour flipped over backward and two men drowned beneath the hull in a world championship event as rescue workers struggled to reach the site.

Now, a lawsuit filed in Fort Lauderdale charges the pair, Jeffrey Tillman and his 74-year-old throttleman, Bob Morgan, died unnecessarily.

The suit was filed November 7, just as this past weekend's races in Key West started.. More than 40 boats competed against one another to run the 6.2 mile course.

Miami is a powerboating mecca. Its role in the trade was highlighted in 1987, with the gangland style killing of Don Aronow , the greatest powerboat racer of all time. During that era, the boats were often used to transport cocaine to the United States from the Caribbean.

Tillman and Morgan were killed in November 2011 when their boat flipped over. It took rescue workers nine minutes to reach them, charges the lawsuit filed by attorney William Scherer, because race sponsors incorrectly assumed they were killed by blunt trauma,.

The race was later cancelled because a second boat turned over, and rescue workers were stretched too thin to continue.

Three days later, a second driver, Joey Gratton, was killed when his boat flipped over. His widow has also sued race organizers Superboat International Productions and President John Carbonell. That suit is presently scheduled to go to trial early next year.

Autopsies after the accident showed Tillman and Morgan died from drowning. Saltwater was discovered in their lungs.

The suit faults race sponsors for allowing Tillman's boat to continue even though it didn't have a reinforced cockpit or a through-hull escape hatch, which might have saved the men, According to the Associated Press, boat teams now have to share safety plans with race sponsors, which was not required in the past.

Surveillance video of Oshkosh boat crash released

by Scott Hurley and Monique Lopez, FOX 11 News

This still frame taken from surveillance video shows a powerboat crashing into a paddleboat July 9, 2022, on the Fox River in Oshkosh. (Courtesy Winnebago County Sheriff's Office)

OSHKOSH, Wis. (WLUK) -- Winnebago County Sheriff's officials have released video of a boat crash July 9 that left several people injured.

The video shows a powerboat side-swiping a paddleboat with 43 passengers on board. The video was taken from a camera on a bridge in Oshkosh.

At the beginning of the video, you can see the paddleboat moving slowly in the Fox River. Then, at about the 10-second mark, the powerboat comes into view from the right side of your screen. It's moving at a higher rate of speed, makes a curve, then collides into the paddleboat without coming to a complete stop.

The paddleboat then moves out of the view.

The powerboat's owner, Jason Lindemann, was arrested three days later. He was released after posting a $10,000 cash bond.

Sheriff's officials also released the crash report from the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources. In the report, officials say Jason Lindemann, 52, was driving his powerboat at a speed of anywhere between 21 and 40 miles per hour.

No formal charges have been filed against Lindemann, however officials are recommending he be charged with 12 counts of second-degree recklessly endangering safety and 11 misdemeanor counts of failure to render aid after a boating accident.

Factors including excessive speed and alcohol reportedly led to the crash, but according to the DNR crash form, he was not given an alcohol or drug test. At his initial court hearing, prosecutors say at Dockside Tavern, one of several businesses Lindemann owns, he could be seen on surveillance video drinking.

Initially, we were told seven people we were injured from the crash. Upon the release of the report we now know that a total of 12 were injured. That included one on Lindemann’s boat, a 57-year-old Oshkosh man, who required medical attention for a back injury and lacerations to the face.

Meanwhile, sheriff's deputies say they have identified all 43 passengers of the On the Loos Cruises boat, as well as all seven passengers on the powerboat.
