Capsized boat leaves father dead, daughter injured on Big Island
Advertiser staff writer
A man apparently drowned and his 13-year-old daughter was injured last night when their Zodiac capsized off Keauhou in rough seas, the Hawaiçi County Fire Department said.
The semi-rigid, inflatable Zodiac capsized in the rough shore break, which firefighters said contributed to the 6 p.m. capsizing.
Firefighters found the man floating face down and the girl in severe distress with head injuries.
A man on his personal watercraft brought the father to shore while firefighters brought the girl to Keauhou Pier.
The mans identity was not released pending notification of next of kin.
