A 6-year-old girl tragically died in Arizona after her mother accidentally struck her with a boat propeller while boating on Lake Pleasant. The child's father noticed someone in the water and swam to the child, realizing her leg had been amputated. Despite immediate medical attention, she was pronounced dead at a nearby hospital. The incident is under investigation, and impairment does not appear to be a factor.
A 6-year-old girl in Arizona died after being accidentally struck by a boat propeller on Lake Pleasant. The girl's mother, who was operating the boat, was unaware that the child was in the water when she started driving. The father, who was wakeboarding, noticed someone in the water and discovered it was his own daughter, whose leg had been amputated by the propeller. Despite immediate aid from authorities, the child was pronounced dead at a nearby hospital. Impairment does not appear to be a factor, and all occupants of the boat were wearing life vests.
A former ABC News correspondent, Michael Guillen, recalls the moment his submersible was caught on the Titanic's propeller 23 years ago during an underwater exploration. The incident was captured on video and has resurfaced recently.
