This Saturday, it is reported that a woman died from her injuries after being involved in a single-boat accident.  The boating accident allegedly occurred near Captain Hiram's Resort and the woman was the wife of Highlands County Commissioner Jeff Carlson, who was driving the boat.

Police say that 39 year old Julie Carlson died on Sunday after the boat she was on hit a sign about 100 yards east of the resort.  At this time, the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission are looking into the case.  They say that there was evidence that alcohol was on the boat.

The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission reports that the accident occurred on Saturday at around 10:00 PM when the 22 foot boat accelerated and struck a piling that caused Julie Carlson to hit the piling or sign.

When the boat returned to the dock for help, Julie was flown to the hospital for treatment.
