Family of child killed in boat crash brings inspirational message to B.C. track meet
A photo of Lionel Hall, who was killed last month in a boat crash, was displayed at a B.C. track meet where his parents and sister honoured his memory. The family of a 10-year-old boy who lost his life in a speed boat crash near Cates Park in North Vancouver took part in a ceremony to honour him at the BC Athletics Junior Development Track and Field Championships on Saturday. Lionel Hall died after being hit by the speed boat while tubing in Burrard Inlet in June. Another child, who was also tubing, was seriously injured. Lionel's sister Abigail took part in races at South Surrey Athletic Park and was happy the event allowed her family to honour her little brother's life. 'He was really funny. He had a great sense of humour,' Abigail told CTV News. Lionel's father, Jason said if not for the tragedy that took his life, his son would have been a competitor at the event. 'He just always wanted to be better, and he knew being at the championships was always a great marker to set for himself so he could always take that next step and improve,' Hall said. The family took time Saturday to address all the young athletes taking part in the track meet. 'We're just going to have a few moments in memory of Lionel's contribution here and hopefully inspire other kids to live big for Lionel,' said Shelley Klassen, Lionel's mom. The RCMP are investigating speed and alcohol as contributing factors in the boat crash that killed Lionel. The operator of the boat that crashed into the inner tube with the children on it was arrested at the scene but later released. So far, no charges have been laid.
