‘It was too late’: Squamish Valley boating tragedy survivor recounts incident
One of the survivors says the boat was pushed sideways by a large branch and was pulled into a log that crossed the opening of the creek, causing it to overturn.
A survivor of a boating incident in the Squamish Valley that took three lives recounts the harrowing ordeal. On Thursday, eight people were aboard the boat when it capsized due to a large branch and a log in a shallow area. Five were rescued, and the remaining three perished. Spencer Seabrooke, one of the survivors, stated it was a challenging ordeal with many losing friends and family.
The boat operator instructed Seabrooke to head upstream to assist others in need. Despite calm waters and the boat designed for navigating debris, the accident occurred too quickly, and the group faced misinformation and false rumors.
