A 24 foot recreational Bowrider was making way behind a sport fishing boat that throttled down to reduce wake for an anchored commercial fishing vessel while both were traveling northbound on the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway in Little River, SC near mile marker 345. 

The bowrider attempted to overtake the sport fishing boat on its starboard side and traversed over the wake, causing the bow to submerge as it came down the front side of the wave. 

Nine of the twelve passengers on the bowrider were ejected and one passenger was struck by the propeller and died as a result of the injuries. South Carolina Department of Natural Resources and USCG investigation continues.
