The skipper of a speedboat which crashed into a buoy, killing a 15-year-old girl, during an “adrenaline-fuelled” thrill ride has told a court he lost his vision for a “split second” before the impact.
Emily Lewis suffered fatal injuries when the rigid inflatable boat (Rib) collided with the 4.5m-high buoy at 36.8 knots in Southampton Water at 10.11am on August 22, 2020, with a number of other passengers seriously injured.
