From the Charlotte Observer - The Fourth of July weekend turned deadly at two Charlotte-area lakes, as two separate boating accidents left three people dead and two in critical condition.
The first incident happened Saturday night on Lake Norman, where a boater hit and killed 17-year-old Sheyenne Marshall of Concord.
The second crash took place hours later at Mountain Island Lake and left dead two family members, Daniel and Jennifer Schmidt.
The two deadly accidents add to the unusually high number of boating crashes in North Carolina so far this year.
