Two 13-year-olds operating separate boats collided on Lost Island Lake east of Spencer, Iowa. Lost Island Lake is one vacation water spot in Iowa. One of the boys was injured and flown to a hospital in Sioux Falls, South Dakota on Sunday. The report from KCCI indicates the one boat driven by Langerman had another 13-year-old passenger, Morgan Muller.

Question remains to be answered as to what they were doing just prior to colliding. When I grew up on the water every boat had a green/red light on the front indicating which side your boat should stay with an approaching boat. Also larger boats have to yield to smaller-slower boat.

Who should have yielded the right-of-way? What were they doing at the time just previous to colliding? There are many questions to be answered and few details to go on.
