Inexperienced boat drivers, after dark, full speed ahead, and probably a smidgen of alcohol.

What could possibly go wrong?

Yep; the river gets crazy on weekends. Especially holiday weekends. People break out their fancy boat toys that will go 90 mph. Next thing you know someone in another boat isn’t where they are expected to be and... wham. People die from this all time. I’m actually surprised it doesn’t happen more often.

The locals know to stay off the water on weekends.

Lost a good friend to a boating accident..years ago at Lake Havasu.
It was during spring break & the river/lake was packed with people..so many boats that you could literally jump from one to another.
I never went back.

Two people are missing and “presumed submerged,”

Is that the new lib speak for drowned?
