An investigation was underway Tuesday into the death of a woman struck and killed by a power boat while kayaking in Marina del Rey on Labor Day.
The accident occurred about 1:10 p.m. Monday near the south jetty, said Lt. Deryl Walker of the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department.
“At this point there is no indication that a crime occurred, but the investigation is still ongoing,” Walker said.
The woman’s name was withheld pending notification of relatives.
The driver of the boat was not cited, Walker said.
Two people in their 60s were aboard the 50-foot vessel that struck the kayaker and at first didn’t know what had happened until people in a nearby fishing boat alerted them, according to KCAL9. They spoke to investigators for a couple hours, but authorities said it appeared they were neither speeding nor under the influence of alcohol, the station reported.
