‘No wake’ buoys put in near site of fatal crash on Lake Martin

New ‘no wake’ buoys have been installed near Lake Martin’s Bridge to Nowhere after a man was killed three weeks ago in a double boating accident nearby. The buoys will affect marine traffic around the congested Chimney Rock area during the Memorial Day weekend.

New “no wake” buoys at Lake Martin’s Bridge to Nowhere will demand vigilance from boat operators in the high-traffic area north of Chimney Rock this holiday weekend.

The Alabama Law Enforcement Agency this week authorized the Lake Martin Resource Association to place the four buoys north and south of the Bridge to Nowhere after an Auburn man was killed May 3 in a double accident in the vicinity.
