A power boat crashed into South California’s Alamitos Bay jetty, killing one man and hospitalizing ten others Wednesday night, officials said, The Associated Press (AP) reported.
Capt. Jack Crabtree of the Long Beach Fire Department said that the 48-foot boat was likely speeding during the incident, according to the Los Angeles Times. The department initially estimated that the boat was traveling at 40 miles per hour, Crabtree added.
The officer said, however, that the exact speed would be determined once the investigation was fully complete. EMTs and Long Beach Fire paramedics transported the injured to the hospital, the LA Times reported. (RELATED: Video Shows Boat Barreling Towards Beachgoers, Crashing Into Shore)
