Game wardens with the Texas Parks and Parks and Wildlife Department say two people were thrown after a speedboat hit something, went up into the air, and crashed back into the water upside-down.

A second person was also thrown into the water but was located and transported by air ambulance to John Peter Smith Hospital in Fort Worth. That person's condition is unknown.
