Community reels from birthday party tragedy at boat club that left 2 kids dead

A mourner quietly placed a bouquet of cellophane-wrapped flowers on a folding chair Sunday morning outside the Swan Boat Club in Monroe County's Berlin Township, where just the day before police say chaos unfolded when a suspected drunken driver slammed her SUV through a wall.

Inside the building, a young child’s birthday party had been taking place.

In an instant, two children — a brother and sister, ages 5 and 8 — were dead and about a dozen other people, including several other children, were critically injured. Among those hospitalized Sunday were the mother of the two dead children and their older brother.

The 66-year-old woman who was driving the SUV is being held in the Monroe County Jail for suspicion of driving while intoxicated causing death, a 15-year felony. Police said there could be additional charges as the investigation continues.

"It’s so sad," said Paul Schmidt, 46, who lives next to the club and witnessed the aftermath of the crash. Speaking to a reporter Sunday morning, he noted that the scene was so horrific that even "the cop was throwing up in the yard."

A GoFundMe fundraising account , linked at the club's website , was set up to defray funeral and burial expenses for the children, identified in the account only by their first names as 5-year-old "Zayn" and 8-year-old "Lana" and to help their mother, "Mariah," and older brother, "Jayden," with medical expenses.  

Within hours, tens of thousands of dollars had been raised. By late Sunday evening, donations topped $100,000.

The club — at 6332 Brancheau Road, about 30 minutes southwest of Detroit — was closed Sunday, the result, the private club said on Facebook, of the "terrible accident" with many injuries and much damage.

Schmidt — who had recorded on cell phone videos the SUV driving past his home and the 3 p.m. crash ― said some of the footage was too graphic to share with the public. He estimated the driver, who he said lives near the club, appeared be going 40 mph or more.

The more graphic recordings, which he played for the Free Press, showed a room set up for a party, decorated with colorful banners and balloons. Some of the youngsters ― who, Schmidt said ― appeared to have been lining up for cake.

The crash left a large hole in the wall and the sound of the impact could be heard several houses down the gravel road. It was followed by the screams of children, parents and grandparents. The adults, in a panic, scooped up crying toddlers, trying to scurry to safety.

The two siblings were pronounced dead at the scene, police said. The other victims were rushed by ambulances and two medical helicopters for treatment at area hospitals.

Arraignment possible Monday

By Sunday, the hole in the wall, where the SUV smashed through, had been boarded up, but the yellow police caution tape, twisted metal siding, debris and discarded medical supplies, like blue latex gloves and bandages, were strewn about in the dirt.

A bounce house, which had been set up for the party, had been deflated.

The name of the SUV driver was not released. She was taken to the Monroe County Jail, where, authorities said, she is expected to be held until she can be arraigned.

Monroe County Sheriff’s deputies, one of whom was still investigating the scene Sunday, told the Free Press the name of the suspect or more details of the crash, such as her blood alcohol level, would not be released until after an arraignment, which was unlikely until Monday.

At a late Saturday night press conference, Monroe County Sheriff Troy Goodnough’s voice quavered as he spoke to reporters, appearing to be fighting back tears as he read a statement. The vehicle, he said, slammed into the north wall, moving fast enough to go about 25 feet inside the building until it stopped.

It was, the sheriff said, as he described the scene that first responders saw, "extremely chaotic and with high level of emotions of those directly involved and those who witnessed this horrific incident." At least 15 people, including adults, were injured.

The sheriff said that nine people, three of them children, were driven by ambulances and airlifted by two medical helicopters to area hospitals with life-threatening injuries. Several other less seriously injured people, the sheriff added, were rushed away by nonemergency vehicles.

Multiple agencies from three counties scrambled to reach the scene and try to provide aid.

Neighbors near the boat club said that before slamming into the birthday celebration, it appeared that the SUV also had hit — or backed into — a small pine tree and a Ford F-150 pickup, damaging the front end, and crashing into it with such force it pushed it back at least a dozen feet, causing it to knock over a wooden fence.

Ed Wedderski, 72, said he and his son, who owns the silver pickup, heard the SUV hit the truck — and then crash through the wall.

Wedderski said he knows the suspect, who is a neighbor and has lived in the area for decades. He said he never had problems with her, calling her "the nicest person," who generally drove slowly.

A drink at Verna's Tavern

Before the suspect apparently crashed into the pickup and club, the sheriff had said Saturday, it's believed she had been at a Newport watering hole, Verna’s Tavern, which deputies briefly closed as part of the crash investigation.

"We went in, we shut the business down," Goodnough said Saturday, when pressed whether the tavern would be facing police scrutiny. "We are in the process of executing a search warrant for information as to the business conducted at that day."

Sunday, the tavern had reopened.

When asked by the Free Press what happened, workers at Verna's on Sunday declined to comment.

Angie Huffman — who said in an email to the Free Press that her mother owns the establishment, and Verna was her great-grandma — confirmed the police suspect was at the eatery at 11 a.m., had a glass of wine and a bowl of soup, adding that she's confident the investigation will show the restaurant is "not at fault."

"She left before noon and was completely sober," Huffman said of the suspect. "We understand the need for an investigation and we are cooperating with the police. We offered to give them anything they needed. The sheriff wanted a search warrant."

Huffman added: "Our thoughts and prayers go out to everyone involved. Our town will never be the same."

In a sad twist, the area where the tragedy unfolded has long been a place to enjoy life.

The boat club, which sits in the shadow of the DTE Fermi II nuclear plant was started in the 1940s as a place for boating enthusiasts on Swan Creek to meet to play cards, have a beer and kickback, mostly during the hot summer months, has faced its share good and bad times over the years. It is just off Lake Erie.

The club, in its early years thrived, its website suggested.

The club history boasted of hosting "great regattas," "snow mobile races" and "famous chicken dinners," which it still offers. At one time it’s membership even included Michigan’s governor, the late G. Mennen (Soapy) Williams.

In the '70s, the club website said, its membership dropped to less than 50 members.

But since then, the club — which now also offers dockage for more than 125 member boats up to 40 feet long — said its numbers were rebounding and was "sound and prosperous with a card-carrying membership of over 250."

Neighbors, like Schmidt, said he doesn’t know what will happen to the club now.

A community grieves

Through much of Sunday afternoon, many in the Monroe County communities affected by the tragedy were flyspecking the news for more clues to how the deadly crash happened and grieving the loss of the young children.

At the Burger King in Newport, about a couple of miles from the tavern where the suspect may have been, employees shared details with each other about what they knew about the incident — and traded other stories about terrible wrecks.

Alana Laughery, 31, said she was shocked.

"It’s absolutely tragic," she said of the crash, adding that she has a 5-year-old son. "As the day goes on you hear more and more and it just gets worse and worse as more people are affected by this. Even the kids who weren’t physically injured will have to live with these memories of this traumatic event."

She said that she just couldn’t comprehend how the kids and parents must feel.

"I can’t imagine this happening," she said. "I can’t imagine going out for a day to celebrate and something out of your control happens. You think you are in a safe place, surrounded by walls — and the next thing you know, you’re underneath a vehicle."

She said that she could not imagine the horror that families had to go through.

"Did she sit there?" Laughery asked herself, trying to picture the driver after she went through the wall. "Did she move the car? Did anyone attempt to move the car? How did the victims get out? How long were they there? How horrific!"

And, Laughery also asked: "How can we keep this from happening again?"

The Superyacht Forum and METS Round-Up 2023

Last week, we had a great time at TSF (The Superyacht Forum). This event, in partnership with METSTRADE, connects us with colleagues, suppliers, and clients. In conversations, what stood out was how Pinpoint Works is fast becoming an incredibly popular communication tool in the superyacht industry. We received feedback and ideas from current clients for future development of our software and service – which is always greatly appreciated.

A notable live panel discussion at TSF was the Yacht Owners Representative Program (YORP), which offered an insightful and exciting discussion surrounding communication and documentation for new builds, working with owners’ reps, shipyards, and owners’ build teams. YORP Lead Project Manager for The Crew Academy, Samantha Watson, joined Hein Velema, Joey Meen and Peter Vogel on the panel to discuss the program’s impact on the industry. Pinpoint Works is proud to be a part of the YORP. This accredited and pioneering new course aims to set a new industry benchmark for the qualification of the owner’s representative role.

Pinpoint Works business developer Stuart Boyd hosted a live webinar with the cohort for the YORP program of future Owners’ Representatives to discuss why communication is so important in the success of new build.

Friedrich Dreves, CCO of Adriatic 42 – a Refit shipyard in the Port of Montenegro, gave an insightful discussion of the shipyard’s capabilities and refit facilities. We were immensely proud that Pinpoint Works was featured in this talk as the shipyard’s go-to software to start all the shipyard’s refit work.

Service Excellence was a keynote debate where we heard from senior executives from private aviation, luxury cruise, premium hospitality, and top-level hotels to discuss which ingredients they have found essential in delivering class-leading experiences to their clients, discussing how to structure the best service possible for yachts. This was hugely inspirational and resonates with us as a company as we strive to provide superior project management tools in an industry that prides itself on delivering class-leading experiences to its clients.

Stuart Boyd comments:

“Things have certainly changed from a few years ago – in recent months, our growth has been exponential, and Pinpoint Works is increasingly becoming the go-to communication work list platform for the bigger players in the industry, which is incredibly exciting for us as a company.”

Here are some highlights…

Crime and Public Safety

Crime and public safety | two men stabbed, three hurt in brooklyn party boat brawl.

Two men were stabbed and a third was hit on the head with a bottle in a violent brawl aboard a party boat in Brooklyn Saturday afternoon, cops said.

“We were having an amazing time and then as soon as it was time to get off the boat, that’s when the commotion started,” said one woman who wished to stay anonymous.

Police responded about 5 p.m. to a 911 call for a knife assault on a party yacht dubbed the ‘Cornucopia Majesty,’ docked at Pier 4 at the Brooklyn Army Terminal near 58th St. in Sunset Park.

“We were standing there and everybody started fighting,” said one witness who asked to remain anonymous. “Then I see a guy got stabbed, laid in his car, blood running off his chest and a whole bunch of cops started coming in.”

Police found a 32-year-old man stabbed once in the lung, a 40-year-old man stabbed four times in the chest and abdomen, and a 28-year-old man who had been whacked in the head with a bottle. Two other people were injured but refused medical attention, the FDNY said.

Medics rushed the injured partygoers to NYU Langone Hospital Brooklyn where they were all expected to survive, cops and police sources said.

It was not immediately clear what sparked the squabble, cops said.

“Everybody was trying to get away from the rowdiness. Stampede, everybody shoving. That’s dangerous,” said Kevaun Whitely, 27.

BYFAR Entertainment, the group that hosted the bash, posted a statement to Instagram stating, “Unfortunately, a crime scene developed by the pier which has caused the postponement of the night event.”

A previous post of theirs detailed information for a second event on the ‘Cornucopia Majesty’ slated for 6 p.m. Saturday.

“BYFAR Entertainment has always been a beacon of safe events in New York City and this rare occurrence has never been the norm with us,” their statement continued.

No arrests have been made. Officials allowed five people to exit the yacht at a time and conducted searches and witness interviews as they continued their investigation, partygoers said.

“I’m glad we got out safe. At the end of the day I hope nobody passed away from all this,” Whitely said.
