Two Onalaska men and one other person are seriously injured in a weekend boating accident in Florida.
35-year-old Jason Baldner of Onalaska and 36-year-old Jason Williams, an Onalaska native currently living in Cape Coral, Florida, were aboard a 37-foot boat when it slammed into a seawall at a high rate of speed, went airborne and landed in a vacant lot.
Baldner, Williams and another man, 31-year-old Eric Terpsma of Cape Coral, were taken to the hospital. Baldner's dad says his son is in a coma. A Florida hospital says Williams and the third man are both in serious condition.
Television station WINK in Fort Myers says authorities suspect alcohol to be a factor in the accident, but the accident is still being investigated.
Friends say Baldner and Williams are avid boaters. Both men were also past members of the River City Water Ski Team.
