A boat crash during a Major League Fishing tournament killed three men and injured multiple others on an Alabama lake on Wednesday morning, state authorities say.
Two vessels crashed at around 7 a.m. at Lewis Smith Lake in Cullman County, according to Alabama Law Enforcement Agency. The collision occurred during the second day of the Tackle Warehouse Invitational competition organized by Major League Fishing, or MLF.
The tragedy unfolded after a bass boat hit a center console vessel. Three men who were on the center console vessel were killed: 58-year-old Joey Broom of Altoona, 44-year-old John Clark of Cullman, and 62-year-old Jeffrey Little of Brandon, Mississippi.
