Here is the article.
This article doesn't contain the latest info...
Apparently both boats were doing over 100mph, racing. And people say wakesurfing is dangerous? hehe.

Holy Cripes! I used to go up to Lake Texoma a few years back. We were in the Marina (Highport, I believe) when all of the sudden you hear aircraft engines. One look over revealed the source: a boat named "Flash Gordon" with two jet engine nozzles sticking up from the back. The next day I was beached at the island that everybody parties at, and "Flash Gordon" anchors just off my stern. The owner, apparently a metalurgist was super cool and loved to talk about his creation. Apparently it had tow Huey helicopter engines running the beast.

I appreciate all boats and am fanatical about wakeboats. No boat (not including yachts) that I have ever seen was a panty dropper to the degree that this thing was...

Wow, I didn't realize that was one of the boats involved. Sad, so sad. Have they released what led to the accident?...It says the other driver lived.
