1 Dead, 4 Injured in NJ Boating Hit-and-Run

2008_07_boatinghr.jpgA man was killed and his wife and three friends were injured after their boat was hit by another vessel early Sunday morning in the Metedconk River. A four-foot hole was left in Robert Post's 17-foot boat (see photos here); Post died of blunt trauma to his head and body. The Star-Ledger reports the Ocean County DA's office needs more information before determining whether it's the "boating equivalent of vehicular homicide," and the State Police said, "We appeal to the individual involved to please come forward." Police are also looking for other boats with damage to them.
