Crash at Cumberland Poker Run

[KAP]

News:

A crash involving a brand new Skater 40 with Brad Smith and Jeff.

Information is boat was stuffed at 160MPH and both driver and passenger went through the windshield.

Sketchy information right now as several individuals reporting at the scene that this incident has fatalities. Absolutely horrible news and makes me very sad!

My thoughts and prayers to all involved.
