BERRIEN COUNTY (WKZO-AM) — The victim from a boat explosion in Berrien County is being treated at Bronson Methodist Hospital’s burn unit after she was airlifted to Kalamazoo early Sunday.
The Van Buren County Sheriff’s Department said 61-year-old Barbara Lynn Warren suffered serious burns after her husband’s 26-foot motor boat returned to its slip at Eagle Pointe Marina. The vessel was prompted back to the marina by engine problems.
There was an explosion in the engine compartment, according to investigators. Kenneth Warren, 63, was treated for minor injuries.
The incident remains under investigation.
