HALL COUNTY, Georgia (Gwinnett Daily Post) — A GoFundMe fundraising campaign has been launched to help cover the medical expenses for two teenagers who were severely burned when their family’s boat exploded at Margaritaville at Lanier Islands on Sunday.
A woman and two teenagers were taken to Grady Memorial Hospital in Atlanta after they were injured by the explosion, which also caused a dock fire at the lakeside attraction.
Hall County Fire Services Division Chief Zachary Brackett said a boat exploded at about 2:30 p.m. at the gas docks located at Margaritaville’s Port of Indecision on Lake Lanier. Several people were injured by the incident.
