Second lawsuit filed in boat crash

Justin Honken was among three people killed when their stationary boat was struck by another watercraft July 30 near Stevens Point.

The suit filed last week is similar to a lawsuit filed in May by Jessica Breeze, the mother of 21-year-old Caitlin Breeze, who also died in the crash.

It alleges Magner was drunk when he drove his boat, a 2011 Mastercraft, into a stationary 1989 Formula occupied by Honken, Breeze, 21, of Spokane, and Justin Luhr, 34, of Medical Lake.

The bodies of Honken, Breeze and Luhr were recovered from Lake Coeur d’Alene several days after the crash.

The five people aboard the Mastercraft, including Magner, Jonathan C. Sweat, 40, of Spokane, Alejanero M. Gutierriz, 33, of Arlington, Wash., Skye Neversorry, 24, of Spokane and Paige L. Archer, 25, of Hayden, suffered minor injuries in the crash. Full story . CdAPress
