FORT WALTON BEACH, Fla. (AP) - Authorities say a couple from
Daphne has died in a boat accident in Florida.
Lt. Mark Hollinhead of the Florida Fish and Wildlife
Conservation Commission said two boats collided shortly after 7:30
p.m. Friday. The 18-foot Bayliner and the 21-foot Sea Hunter each
had four people aboard at the time of the accident in
Choctawhatchee Bay near Fort Walton Beach, Fla.
William "Bill" Brenner of Daphne, who was operating the larger
boat, survived. But Hollinhead said Brenner's parents, George and
Donna Brenner, also of Daphne, and his aunt, Jeane Srowson of
Texas, all died.
Authorities said the occupants of the other boat were treated
for minor injuries.
Hollinhead said the cause of the accident is being investigated.
