A woman was killed in a boating accident Thursday night on Lake Malone in Logan County.
Logan County Coroner Mary Givens says 36-year-old Jennifer Browning of Greenville was on a boat participating in a fishing tournament.
As they were approaching the Shady Cliff boat dock, their boat struck a small island that’s difficult to see after dark and Browning was ejected from the vessel. According to the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife, Browning had been putting on a life jacket immediately before the collision occurred.
She was pronounced dead at the scene and Givens says an autopsy was scheduled for Friday at the Western Kentucky Regional Medical Examiner’s Office in Madisonville.
