RedactedNarrative: On 7/12/2020 at about 1449 hours, AST was advised that a boater traveling to Bethel on the Kuskokwim River observed boat wreckage involving two boats. When the complainant stopped to assist, an adult male was located deceased inside one of the boats along with a child that had life threatening injuries. 
  
  The child succumbed to the injuries and passed away the next day. Two other adults from that boat were also located with what appear to be non-life threatening injuries. All injured parties were transported to receive treatment of injuries.
  
   Investigation revealed that the deceased were in an Alweld 18-foot flat bottom skiff navigating a blind turn on a channel on the Johnson River, heading up river, when a more substantial 21-foot skiff, traveling on the same channel, heading down river, was navigating the blind turn.  
  
  The 21-foot skiff had 9 occupants at the time of the collision; both took evasive action, but turned toward the same direction and collided. The heavier 21-foot skiff significantly damaged the lighter flat bottomed skiff. No injuries were reported to the occupants of the 21-foot skiff. Investigation into the boating collision is ongoing.
