Who was involved in the crash?

According to a recent report on TMZ Kevin’s wife, Linda was steering the boat when the accident happened. The publication reports that Mrs. O’Leary was given a DUI test and passed without issue. The O’Leary’s suffered no major injuries.

TMZ reported that while no charges have been filed, an investigation is on-going. Kevin O’Leary has stated in all reports that the accident was a result of the victims’ boat not having any kind of lights on. Also, the other boat reportedly fled the scene of the accident, making it a hit and run. Video footage overseeing that part of the lake during the time of the accident is said to exist. O’Leary is hopeful that this evidence will free him and his wife of any responsibility. It will be interesting to see how it turns out.
