PULASKI COUNTY, Ky. — Two brothers from Northern Kentucky have been killed in a boat crash at Lake Cumberland, the Pulaski County Coroner's Office said.
The brothers, who were 14 and 18 years of age, were from Villa Hills, Ky. On Monday, Fischer Homes said the brothers were Chase and Cole Fischer.
The Fischer home website says the brothers' grandparents, Henry and Elaine, were the founders of Fischer Homes.
"The Fischer Group has always been a company about family, and our team is grieving with and praying for the entire Fischer family," reads a statement from the company. "Please keep them in your thoughts and prayers. We ask that their privacy be respected during this unimaginable time."
The coroner's office said a jet ski and a boat collided on the lake Friday afternoon. The crash happened south of Woodson Bend Boat Dock at the south fork of Lake Cumberland, which is roughly three hours from Villa Hills.
Both of the brothers were aboard the jet ski during the crash, the coroner's office said.
It's unclear at this time what caused the boat and jet ski to collide.
