Several Boats Sink During Lake Travis Trump Parade In Texas

AUSTIN, TX — Several boats sank on Saturday while taking part in a Lake Travis boat parade held in support of President Donald Trump, a spokesperson for the Travis County Sheriff’s Office confirmed to The Associated Press.

Sheriff's spokesperson Kristen Dark told the AP that the sheriff's office responded to "multiple calls of boats in distress" around 12:15 p.m.

The New York Times reported that at least four boats sank.

There were no reported injuries or fatalities.

Dark said the cause was under investigation, but there was no indication of foul play.

Weather conditions at the time of the parade were generally calm, and meteorologist Paul Yura with the National Weather Service in Austin/San Antonio told AP there were were no storms in the area at the time and winds were generally 10 mph or less.

“The lake should be fairly navigable, without issue at those wind speeds," Yura said.

However, at least one photo taken during the event shows rough waters lapping at boats in the parade.
