KENTUCKY, USA — Two teenage brothers are dead after a boat and jet ski crashed while on Lake Cumberland Friday afternoon.

The crash occurred on the south fork of Lake Cumberland, near the Woodson Bend boat dock, according to Pulaski County Coroner Clyde Strunk, according to our ABC affiliate WTVQ.
