In Crown Point, Vermont, officials and media reported that a man died during a boating accident on Lake Champlain.
According to authorities, 60-year-old William F. Brown died after he was run over by a Ranger bass boat that was operated by one of his acquaintances. The operator of the Ranger boat, 60-year-old William O. Wright, suffered minor injuries during the collisions but survived.
