1 Person Missing after Boat Crash on Lake Austin [Austin, TX]

4 Hospitalized after Boat Crash on Lake Austin 

Austin, TX (August 13, 2023) – Saturday evening, a boat crash on Lake Austin involved seven people including a teenager who remains missing as of Monday morning.

The CE-Bar Fire Department said the single-boat crash happened after a boat went over the wake of another boat and lost control. 

Then, the boat hit the bank of Lake Austin where at least one patient was ejected. It wasn’t confirmed if the passengers were wearing life jackets.

Lake Austin is narrow and gets crowded fast with cross currents and cross wakes.

“If you’re just plowing down the lake as fast as you can go, you’re going to have an accident — even if you’re going slow you can have an accident because there’s a lot of traffic and a lot of things to avoid,” Campbell said.

APD said a multi-agency recovery operation is underway with a primary focus on finding the missing person.
