Conservation Officers with the Virginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheries charge a man in connection with a boating accident that hurt a young wakeboarder at Smith Mountain Lake.
41-year-old Carlo Grove from Goodview is charged with driving too fast and too close to a dock at Smith Mountain Lake. The charge is in relation to the “50 foot rule,” meaning if you’re withing 50 feet of a dock, you have to be traveling at a no-wake speed.
The incident caused a young wakeboarder to run head on into a boat dock last Saturday afternoon on the Bedford County side of the lake.
Officers said the boy is in stable condition at Roanoke Memorial Hospital.
