Boy dies in 'fluke' airboat accident

GENEVA -- Young Vincent Rutowski was enjoying a unique Florida thrill Friday morning tucked between his parents as they roared down the St. Johns River on an airboat.

As the pilot slowed to maneuver the 3,000-pound vessel across a muddy shoal, however, the joy ride turned to tragedy. The boat snagged on the bottom, pitching the 7-year-old forward and over the left side of the boat.

Some are calling this one a “fluke”.
