Chumbler’s body was found about
1:35 a.m. Saturday when a Bartow
County Sheriff’s deputy stopped to
check on a vehicle in an emergency
lane.
Wright said investigators believe it
could have been a truck or a large vehi¬
cle that struck Chumbler.
Wright said agencies in the area were
alerted 'To be on the lookout for a larger
vehicle with damage that would be con¬
sistent with striking a pedestrian.”
No such vehicle has been found, how¬
ever, and troopers have no new leads on
the case, according to Wright.The inves¬
tigation is continuing.

came to his aid. both
swimmers went under
and did not resurface.
Last year, the DNR
handled 43 boating inci¬
dents on Lanier that
resulted in 25 injuries and
seven deaths.
Statewide, lhai number
increased to 109 boating
incidents with 66 injuries
and 11 fatalities.

someone losing their life
on the lake, it makes them
more aware," Brown said.

trick made even more dif¬
ficult by the strong winds.
The weather only rein¬
forced the importance of
knowing how to properly
drive a boat, said Jim
Jordan, commander of the
Atlanta squadron.
"The wind affects driv¬
ing and ... you can lose
control in the wake,” he
said.
While the squadron
offers practical boating
skills for a cost, Tuesday’s
event was designed to give
some ups at no cost.
“If you just make peo¬
ple aware of boater safe¬
ty, it would make a world
of difference ” Jordan
said.
