On July 19, a boat accident close to Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, claimed the life of Olivia Knighton, the 11-year-old daughter of former Major League Soccer goalkeeper Brad Knighton.
Regarding the unfortunate incident, which is still being investigated, the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources released a statement.
The Intracoastal Waterway in Little River was being used by a 23-foot boat carrying 12 people, according to the preliminary report.
One of the nine people who fell overboard was an 11-year-old girl who was “struck by a propeller and later died of her injuries,” as the boat was “rocked by a large wake caused by another boat.”
