Man Killed in Destin Powerboat Wreck
A man was killed in a boating accident in Okaloosa County Saturday afternoon.
It happened near Crab Island in Destin earlier while the annual Emerald Coast Poker Run was underway.
Four people onboard a 30-foot Sunsation racing boat were thrown from the vessel when it wrecked around 5pm. Three people were rescued from the water but a fourth man could not be immediately found. Rescue crews were out canvassing the area for several hours, before locating the the man's body just before 7pm.
The cause of that boating accident is still unclear, and the identities of those involved have not been released yet. A spokesman for the poker run has confirmed that the boat that wrecked was not one of more than 150-powerboats registered for Saturday's event.
