Bride-to-be dies after boating accident

New York (CNN) -- A boat carrying members of a wedding party struck a barge in the Hudson River, leaving the bride-to-be dead and the best man missing, authorities said Saturday.

The body of Lindsey Stewart of Piermont, New York, was recovered Saturday about an eighth of a mile from the river's edge, Rockland County Sheriff's Chief William Barbera told CNN. The search for the best man, Mark Lennon, continues.

Both of them went overboard when the 21-foot Stingray power boat hit a barge about 200 feet south of the Tappan Zee Bridge, located about 25 miles north of Manhattan.

The groom was among four others who were injured in the accident, the family said. He suffered a fractured eye socket, CNN affiliate WABC reported.

"The river at night is very dark, and even knowing the barges are there, they are difficult to locate until you are very close," said Rockland County Undersheriff Robert Van Cura.

Stewart's stepfather, Walter Kosik, said the family was notified about the accident early Saturday morning.

"That's a nightmare I don't wish on any parent -- police coming over to your house waking you up out of your sleep to tell you an accident has occurred," Kosik told CNN.

Barbera said at least two of the injured were wearing life jackets, but it's not clear whether Stewart or Lennon did.

Stewart was a "real smart lady," Kosik said, adding that she and her fiance were a pair of "workaholics so I know they were planning a good future together."

The bride's mother, Carol Stewart, told the affiliate that some friends had picked up her daughter by boat, but she didn't know where they were going.

The groom-to-be told the mother that they hit something and he called 911.

"She's supposed to be married two weeks from today," Carol Stewart said. "It just can't end like this."

UPDATE: Boat operator charged in Hudson River crash

Updated 7:32 AM EDT, Sun July 28, 2013

(CNN) -- The path that led Lindsey Stewart and Brian Bond to decide to join their lives together was as measured and deliberate as its end was abrupt.

The two had been friends since they were children living in the suburbs north of New York City. They went to the same church. More than three years ago, the relationship turned romantic.

Next month, the 30-year-old human resources manager at an insurance company in Nyack, and her 36-year-old beau were to marry at Good Shepherd Church in Pearl River.

The reception was to be at Torne Valley Winery in Hillburn.
"She did all the plans herself," her stepfather, Walter Kosik, told CNN. "She had everything under control."

On Friday night, Stewart and Bond and four of their friends dined at a restaurant, then boarded a 21-foot Stingray power boat on the Hudson River for what was to have been a nine-mile ride from the village of Piermont in Rockland County to Tarrytown.

It was a clear, balmy night.

The short ride and the couple's long-term plans collided fatally when the boat struck the side of one of three barges that were lashed together at a construction site near the Tappan Zee Bridge, 25 miles north of Manhattan.

The barges, which were being used by a contractor who is building a new bridge, had been anchored in the river since around April, said Robert Van Cura, undersheriff of the Rockland County Sheriff's Office.

Stewart was thrown from the boat, as was Mark Lennon, who was to have served as the couple's best man.
Despite suffering serious head injuries, Bond, Stewart's fiance, called 911 from the boat at 10:41 p.m., reporting that it had struck an object south of the bridge.

Rescuers poured in from around the area, but to no avail.
At 2:30 a.m. Saturday, the police showed up at the house belonging to Stewart's mother and stepfather.

"That's something -- a nightmare -- I don't wish on any parent, to get that police coming over your house waking you out of your sleep to tell you that an accident has occurred," Kosik said.

A few hours later, a body believed to be that of Stewart's was discovered about an eighth of a mile off the riverbank. The search for Lennon, which proved fruitless Saturday, was to resume Sunday morning, but officials held out little hope he would be found alive.

"We're always hopeful, but obviously, at this hour, it's less and less likely that this would be a rescue as opposed to a recovery," Van Cura told reporters.

The four who were not thrown from the boat suffered head injuries and were taken to area hospitals.

One of them, boat operator Jojo K. John, 35, was arrested.

"We have probable cause to believe that he operated the
boat while intoxicated," Van Cura said.

John was arraigned at an area hospital on one count of first-degree vehicular manslaughter and three counts of second-degree vehicular assault, Van Cura said.

More charges are possible, he said.

Van Cura said the operator was not the registered owner of the boat, which may have more than one owner.

Bond was hospitalized at Westchester Medical Center, said Kosik, who visited him Saturday. "He was in no condition to talk."

A spokesman for the medical center said Bond was in fair condition.

"She's supposed to be married two weeks from today," said Carol Stewart about her daughter. "It just can't end like this."

An investigation has begun. "The barge had some lights on it; whether or not it was properly lighted is part of the investigation," Van Cura said.

"On a clear, moonlit night, with the bridge lights on, you can see pretty well," said Tom Sobolik in a telephone interview from aboard his sailboat near the accident site.

The moon was last full on Monday.

But Craig and Celeste Kmiecik said they were boating in the area on Friday night and that it appeared dark. "There was a moon last night, but you really can't see anything," said Craig Kmiecik.

"The barge was not lit up," said Celeste Kmiecik. "We saw that last night coming back to the marina."
