Having been there today and seeing the end results of the crashes (there were two at the same time), apparently one boat submarined and ended up intact on the bottom and took a great deal of time for the rescue crews to deal with, having to break the capsule free of the hull, while at the same time dealing with another crash that ended up destroying the boat involved.
Early reports told of one driver walking away and being taken to the hospital for observation, while one driver was taken to the hospital by helicopter. From what I have come to understand, the driver that walked away from the crash ended up being the driver who succumbed to the injuries (Mike Neuharth). I haven't heard anything on the driver who was airlifted other than he is in he hospital.
The winds were pretty bad out here today, but I don't know if that is what ultimately played into the wrecks.
Thoughts and prayers go out to the families involved.
Jordy, that is not correct info. Mike was the one air lifted, early reports were that he died on impact. This is in no way official info, but have been in contact with friends and team members.
