Investigators Seek Videos in Fatal San Diego Boat Crash
December 23, 2009 – Federal investigators are looking for home and surveillance videos of a Coast Guard boat that struck a boat during a Christmas parade in San Diego Bay, killing an 8-year-old boy.
The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) says investigators also want electronic data that indicates speeds and routes of the boats that crashed Sunday night.
Investigators examined the 33-foot Coast Guard boat Tuesday and will look at the 26-foot recreational boat Wednesday. They plan to interview Coast Guard members and have identified eyewitnesses.
Some witnesses told The Associated Press the Coast Guard boat was speeding when it hit the lighted smaller boat.
NTSB spokesman Peter Knudson says his agency typically posts its evidence on its Web site about six months after a crash.
