Clarksville, TN – Woman Killed in House Boat Explosion at the Montgomery County Conservation Club on the Cumberland River

Clarksville, TN (May 24, 2021) – One woman has lost her life following a boat explosion on a Tennessee River Sunday afternoon. On May 23, emergency crews were called to the site of an explosion incident at the Montgomery County Conservation Club.

Reports from authorities show that a 38-foot vessel exploded shortly after refueling near the Conservation Club on the Cumberland River. The incident caused the houseboat to become completely engulfed in flames. Two occupants on the boat, a 56-year-old male driver and a 54-year-old female passenger, were both thrown from the boat.

The two victims were rushed to local hospitals where the woman passed away. At this time, the incident remains under investigation.

Our thoughts are with the victim injured in this accident. We hope for their full recovery.

We would like to extend our deepest condolences to the family of the victim who lost their life in this accident. Our thoughts are with them at this time.

Fatal Explosions in Tennessee

Explosions throughout the United States claim the lives of numerous people each year. Thousands more are left with life-altering injuries, overwhelming pain, and suffering, as well as stacking medical costs for treatment. When victims lose their lives in these unimaginable incidents, their families are often left to endure the financial and emotional struggles they leave behind.

Although there are many reasons why explosions take place, a large percentage of these incidents are directly related to the negligent, reckless, and careless actions of others. When manufacturers are negligent in putting together products, when work environments are unsafe, and when appliances malfunction, it can have devastating consequences for those in close proximity. When victims lose their lives in explosions, due to the negligence of other parties, their families should seek legal guidance from a competent National wrongful death attorney as soon as possible. Families may be entitled to compensation that can help them cover the impacts of lost wages, medical costs, funeral arrangements, and various other costs they face.
