Two women from Long Island meet tragic ends in a boating mishap in Maine
In a shocking incident that occurred at around 1:30 p.m. on Saturday, a boat accident claimed the lives of two individuals at Flagstaff Lake in Eustis, Maine. The boat involved was an 18-foot pontoon boat, and seven people were on board at the time of the accident.
The accident occurred near the beach area of a campground, and the boat flipped, causing all seven passengers to be thrown into the water. Tragically, two women, Farhana Nasir (53, from Selden) and Kiran Akbar (23, from Lake Grove), were killed in the accident. Nasir, Akbar, and a third passenger were unresponsive upon being removed from the water.
Witnesses on the shore and out on the lake rescued all seven passengers from the water and brought them to shore. However, despite the efforts of bystanders, who performed CPR on all three individuals, Nasir and Akbar died at the scene. The third passenger, a 22-year-old woman from New York, was flown to a local medical center and is currently in critical condition.
None of the passengers were wearing lifejackets at the time of the accident. The Maine Department of Inland Fisheries & Wildlife is involved in the investigation of the accident, and authorities have stated that it does not appear alcohol was a factor.
Katie Houlis, a digital producer with the New York web team, is overseeing the coverage of this tragic event. The investigation into the accident is ongoing, and no further details about the survivors or the cause of the accident have been provided.
Expert assessors will conduct the accident reconstruction by analyzing all evidence such as vehicle damages, positions, and traces at the accident scene to determine the causes and who is at fault. The public will be updated as more information becomes available.
