Boy, 10, dies in jet ski crash at Boy Scouts summer camp

A 10-year-old boy died after a horrific jet ski crash near a summer camp for the Middle Tennessee Boy Scouts, cops said.

The collision, the second accident on Old Hickory Lake in just three days, happened near Boxwell Reservation Camp, 25 miles upstream from Nashville, on Tuesday.

Each jet ski had a child onboard, along with a staffer from the Boy Scouts of America-partnered camp.

A 19-year-old woman, who was piloting the boat the 10-year-old boy was on, was also injured from the crash. 

The boy was taken to a local hospital where he later died from his injuries, and his identity has yet to be released by officials.

'At approximately 4:30pm, a tragic jet-ski accident occurred on Old Hickory Lake near Boxwell Reservation,' the Middle Tennessee Council, Boy Scouts of America & Tennessee National Guard said in a joint statement. 

'[It resulted] in the death of a 10-year-old camper of a National Guard family, and the injury of a 19-year-old Boxwell staff member, who were participating in the Tennessee National Guard’s annual Youth Development Week. 

'We are all devastated and heartbroken over the tragic accident and doing everything possible to care for all those involved and affected by providing counseling and support to the families, campers, and staff,' the bulletin went on.

'Our thoughts, prayers, and deepest sympathies are with the families suffering this great loss and we grieve with them in this trying time.'

The statement went on to say how the Texas National Guard and the local council of the Boy Scouts of America were 'working closely' with first responders and law enforcement, as they vet the incident further.

No injuries were reported for either person on the other jet ski, which was also piloted by a Boxwell staffer.

No one involved in the crash had been identified as of Wednesday morning, as safety procedures on the lake where hundreds of thousands of Scouts of all ages flock to each summer have come under scrutiny.

The Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency is still investigating Tuesday's incident 

The Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency said it is the third boating-related death on the lake this year alone, and the second incident involving a crash in the past week. 

Both the water vessels, moreover, were owned by Boxwell, as Scout Executive/CEO of the Middle Tennessee Council, Boy Scouts of America, Larry Brown, is said to be cooperating with law enforcement at this time.

On Saturday, a woman was injured and flown to a local hospital after another jet ski-related incident on the lake.

Afterwards Hendersonville Fire Chief Scotty Bush said the woman’s arm had become wrapped up in a rope, leaving her severely injured.

She had been on a float being pulled by a boat when someone piloting a jet ski allegedly hit the rope, causing her to get tangled and injured. 

Officials on Tuesday said she remains hospitalized but is in stable condition, with no criminal charges so far filed for either incident.
