The Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency is reporting that there were no boating-related fatalities over the 2019 Memorial Day weekend. It marks the fifth consecutive year without a boating fatality over the holiday weekend.

During the period from May 24-27, there were five injury incidents and six property damage incidents. TWRA Boating and Law Enforcement officers made 21 boating under the influence (BUI) arrests, the most since the same number was reported in 2016 over the holiday weekend. The number is an increase from 10 when compared to 2018.

Shortly after Memorial Day weekend, the news was not the same. On Percy Priest Lake a boating accident that took place this past Thursday resulted in the death of one man.
