Geneva Lake police shared new details on what led up to a boat crash and the drownings of 3 children as WI storm cleanup continues.
LAKE GENEVA, Wis. (WLS) -- Geneva Lake police provided more information Monday on a boat crash that led to the deaths of three children last week.
On Friday afternoon, a sudden and severe storm system swept across Walworth County and the surrounding area, officials said.
The National Weather Service said peak wind gusts were between 90 and 100 mph.
The Lake Geneva Fire Department said they responded to 75 calls for service, including a dive rescue, two structure fires, two incidents involving trees on vehicles with entrapment and 37 calls involving downed wires or electrical hazards.
Police said hundreds of trees were downed, and buildings were damaged.
The storm created extremely hazardous boating conditions on Geneva Lake.
A privately owned 25-foot 2024 Nautique P25 vessel, which features a maximum capacity of 19 passengers, was navigating the lake during the storm, officials said.
