A speedboat skipper who crashed into a buoy leaving a teenage passenger fatally injured has been cleared of manslaughter.
But Michael Lawrence, 55, was convicted of failing to maintain a proper lookout and a safe speed during the crash that killed Emily Lewis, 15, in Southampton Water on August 22, 2020.
"She died from internal injuries she sustained by being crushed against the metal handle immediately in front of her, when the boat crashed head-on into a metal buoy which Michael Lawrence appears not to have seen. During the ride, which took place in "perfect conditions", the boat crossed the wake of the Red Falcon ferry five times, before heading toward the North West Netley buoy.
