Tragic Kyser Lake Boating Accident | Albany News

A tragic boating accident at Kyser Lake claimed two lives in a chain of events that began with a medical emergency on the water. A 78-year-old swimmer’s distress prompted his boat operator to jump in, causing boats to drift apart. A 65-year-old man from another boat attempted to steer them back, but the vessel struck a rock ledge, throwing him into the propeller and killing him instantly. The swimmer also died — whether from the original medical issue or the crash remains unclear. Authorities are still investigating and notifying families as names remain withheld. A sobering reminder: even calm waters can turn deadly in seconds. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
