Two persons critically injured in a July 4th weekend Ohio River powerboat race filed a lawsuit against the Madison (Ind.) Regatta, reports the Louisville Courier-Journal.
Brian Perkins, one of the drivers, reportedly drove off course and while correcting his bearings hit a rescue vessel.
Michael Brand, 46, of Middletown, Oh., sustained cuts to his head and cracked ribs. Angela Greenwell, 31, of Louisville, Ky., was hospitalized for several weeks with a broken femur. Both were volunteers.
Another victim, firefighter Chris Cutshall, 31, was filing a separate lawsuit.
The defendants are the Madison Regatta, Inc., powerboat owner Go Fast Turn Left LLC, driver Perkins and his team, H1 Unlimited and the American Power Boat Association.
The regatta is accused of failing to follow safety procedures in the suit filed Sept. 21 in Jefferson County (Ky) Circuit Court.
