A boating accident on the White River Tuesday afternoon has left one person dead and one injured.
Keith Stephens, Chief of Communications for the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission, tells KTLO that 77-year-old Carol Sellers died at Baxter Health in Mountain Home Wednesday morning. Her husband, 77-year-old Hugh A. Sellers, is still a patient at Baxter Health. Both are from Lexington, Oklahoma and have been married 60 years according to Stephens.
Stephens says according to the preliminary investigation, the two had rented a boat from Bull Shoals State Park and were going down the river when they hit a downed tree between the park and Gaston’s Resort. Carol Sellers was unresponsive after the accident and CPR was performed.
He says the accident, which happened about 4:15 Tuesday afternoon, is still under investigation.
