VERO BEACH, Fla. (AP) – A West Palm Beach woman was killed in a air boat crash at a popular fishing area.

The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission said Monday that 27-year-old Callie McKenzie was killed while riding an airboat that crashed into a second airboat in a narrow channel on Blue Cypress Lake.

Another person on her boat – 28-year-old Sean Murphy – was being treated for serious injuries. Two teens in the second boat were not injured.

The wildlife commission was investigating the crash from Saturday.
