Have mercy Lord!
I got a call about this from somebody who heard it over a police scanner. It didn't sound good initially and turned out to be terrible. Eggners Ferry Bridge crosses the lake on Hwy68 and is the bridge that was partially knocked down a year ago by a commercial boat. Terrible tragedy. The lake is 4 feet above summer pool right now and full of floating debris. This boat had to hit a concrete cross support that would normally be well above water level. They were fishing a bass tournament.
Prayers to his family.

MARSHALL COUNTY, Ky. - A Jackson, Missouri man died Thursday in a boating accident on Kentucky Lake, under Eggners Ferry Bridge.
Marshall County Deputy Coroner Barry Taylor says 51-year-old Timothy Allan Clitpard died from blunt force trauma.
Garry Clark with the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife says Clitpard, along with another person, were on a boat heading north, when the boat hit an underwater structure that's part of the bridge.
Clark says that forced the motor to flip up into the boat, striking the 51-year-old and killing him.
The boat's operator was unharmed.
The accident caused a traffic back up for miles across the bridge.
Traffic has since been cleared, and is moving across the bridge.

In our government-controlled schools we are taught that Lincoln was our greatest president because his war ended slavery and saved the Union. As usual, the other side of the story – the side that reflects poorly on the government – somehow gets lost. – Richard J. Maybury, The Abe Lincoln Hoax
So sorry to hear. Prayers sent to the family and driver of the boat. I cant imagine the guilt he must feel, when should have been a fun day fishing. So sad.
