I haven't lived on the lake that long and have not ever witnessed a boating accident. I can only imagine the panic and confusion that took place this night, both on the boat that was hit and later at Sinclair's.
Thank Goodness that this young man and his friend helped the victims. Until you are confronted with the situation, I don't think you know how you'll act. I'm sure that everyone that was touched by or witness to this accident was in some sort of hightened state. It's unfortunate that the police treated the young man so roughly -- I'm sure their intention was to maintain control of the situation and at that moment in time, they weren't sure of his exact role in the situation. Although he went through unfair treatment and a bad night, he has been recognized for his heroics and those involved know exactly what he did to help. For the rest of his life, he'll know that when he was tested in a tough situation, he did everything he could.
