The Batesburg-Leesville couple that died in a boat crash on Lake Murray last Friday night were legally drunk according to initial test results. The blood-alcohol level of driver Timothy Jones was 0.357 and that of rider Kimberly Bailey was 0.187, chief deputy Lexington County coroner Randy Martin said. Anyone with a blood-alcohol level
above 0.08 is considered legally impaired in operating a boat in South Carolina. The driver was over the limit by over 300%!
This driver hit a dock extending 60 feet into the water at the point of only 12 feet from the shoreline. The boat was apparently traveling at a high rate of speed and sliced the dock in half upon impact.
Boating Under the Influence is ILLEGAL AND DANGEROUS! Don't do it.
