Beach accident near Hilton Head kills two, injures others
A boating accident near Hilton Head Island, South Carolina, claimed the lives of two people and left two others injured, according to local authorities. The incident occurred on the evening of Friday, June 27, when emergency crews responded to reports of a boating crash in the Skull Creek area, just before 10 p.m., the Beaufort County Sheriff's Office said in a statement on Facebook. "Upon arrival, the vessel was located with four individuals on board," officials said. "Two occupants sustained injuries and were transported to a local hospital for medical treatment. Tragically, the other two individuals were found deceased at the scene." Multiple response teams were involved in the rescue operation as divers were deployed and entered the water promptly upon arrival. According to an update from the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources (SCDNR), which is leading the investigation, the missing individuals and two dogs were found inside the overturned boat. Officials identified the deceased as 73-year-old Patsy Montgomery and 76-year-old James Montgomery, residents of Bluffton. The Beaufort County Coroner's Office confirmed their identities to local outlet WJCL, noting that the official cause of death has not yet been determined. According to the SCDNR preliminary report obtained by Fox News Digital, the boat appears to have collided with a day marker in the Intracoastal Waterway. Authorities are still working to establish the exact cause of the accident, noting that the vessel's operator was among the deceased and that no criminal charges are being considered at this time. Hilton Head Island Mayor Alan Perry also expressed his condolences in a Facebook post, writing, "I'm at a loss for words over the tragic boat accident last night. My heart and prayers are with the families of the deceased and those who are injured. May God's hand provide comfort during these trying times." Fox News Digital reached out to the Beaufort County Coroner's Office but did not immediately receive a response. Stepheny Price is a writer for Fox News Digital and Fox Business.

There's a blue drawbridge near Myrtle Beach. Why it remains after years of non use
The big blue drawbridge that stretches skyward near busy U.S. 501 has been a welcoming sign for thousands of drivers heading into Myrtle Beach each year. The bridge has become a nostalgic piece of Myrtle Beach history, as many people recall passing it as they made their way into the coastal city for vacation or trips to the beach. At one time it was the only way into Myrtle Beach from Conway, crossing over the Intracoastal Waterway. It has been nonoperational for decades, but there have been no plans to dismantle the massive bridge that has been in the location for more than 80 years. Horry County, which owns the idled rail line from the Carolina Forest area to the city of Myrtle Beach, and Myrtle Beach officials had discussed a plan in 2021 that would make use of the rail line, including a possible park around the bridge. However, those plans never moved forward, according to a text from Horry County spokesperson Mikayla Moskov. Moskov said that the rail line is being maintained 'so that rail access to Myrtle Beach can be utilized in the future as or if needed.' Known as the Pine Island drawbridge, it spans the Intracoastal Waterway in the community of the same name. It continued to operate as a railroad drawbridge until 1987 until it was declared unsafe. The bridge was repaired and restored for train use in 2001, but eventually was shut down in 2011. While the South Carolina Department of Transportation spent 10 years and millions of dollars repairing the bridge for its reopen in 2001, it would ultimately be the decision of Horry County if the bridge would be dismantled, according to Hannah Robinson, media relations manager with the SCDOT. The rail line is owned by Horry County, but it is leased to R.J. Corman Railroad group. R.J. Corman purchased the railroad in 2015 from Whiteville to Conway, and leases the track from Conway to the waterway. Adam Boyles, the director of commercial development for R.J. Corman, was at the 2021 meeting with county and city officials to discuss possible uses for the rail line, including upgrading the rail lines for use by cargo trains. Another plan pitched would be making a 2.5-mile section of the abandoned railway east of the Intracoastal Waterway a Rails-to-Trails multi-use path for joggers, cyclists and pedestrians, running from downtown Myrtle Beach near the historic train depot to the waterway. Neither plan advanced. Boyles said since that initial discussion, there has been no other plans or agreements for using the line. R.J. Corman continues to lease part of the rail line from Horry County, he said. The Pine Island drawbridge was at one time one of thousands of railroad drawbridges in the country. It is estimated that there are about 1,000 railroad drawbridges still operational in the U.S.

UPDATE: Palm Beach lakeside home of Bob Vila, America's TV handyman, fetches $33 million
Television handyman Bob Vila of "This Old House" fame and his wife, Diana Barrett, have parted with their lakefront Palm Beach estate for $33 million, the price recorded with the deed. On the market with different agencies since late 2023, the estate at 690 Island Drive on Everglades Island had recently seen a $4 million price reduction to $35.9 million. A trust was on the buyer's side of the transaction, the deed recorded June 17 shows. Palm Beach attorney Scott W. Hoffman of the Alley, Maass, Rogers & Lindsay law firm serves trustee of the trust. Because of privacy rules governing trusts, no information about anyone else connected to the trust was immediately available in public records. The seven-bedroom house was built in 1949 but remodeled and expanded by Vila and Barrett. The house has 7,621 square feet of living space, inside and out, and the interior space totals about 6,300 square feet. Plans for the property under the new ownership are not yet known, including whether the house will be razed and replaced with a new one. The deed lists Vila and Barrett's mailing address as a house at 260 N. Woods Road on Palm Beach's North End. The multiple listing service shows that four-bedroom house on a third of an acre has been under contract, having been listed at $12.9 million last fall. On the east side of Everglades Island, the house Vila and Barrett just sold on Island Drive measures four-fifths of an acre with about 175 feet of frontage on the Intracoastal Waterway, a dock and a boat lift. The rear of the house looks directly across the lakeside pool patio to the Lake Worth Lagoon and the rest of Palm Beach. The house had been in Barrett's family since the mid-1970s. She had owed it in her name since 2005, when she paid $6.1 million for it, property records show. 'When (Diana) bought the house, we were living in Massachusetts and had a beach house in Boca Grande, Florida, but Diana and I visited it frequently,' Vila told the Palm Beach Daily News for an April 2024 article about the property. The estate has several areas designed for outdoor living, including a red-brick loggia. Large expanses of windows and glass pocket doors also capture water views. Vila, a former chairman of the Palm Beach Architectural Commission, starred in the home-improvement shows 'This Old House' and 'Restore America with Bob Vila.' He also has his own website, His wife's professional resume includes teaching business and public health at Harvard University. The sale closed June 12, according to the multiple listing service. Broker Christian Angle of Christian Angle Real Estate handled both sides of the sale, the MLS shows. He had held the listing since September 2024, when he priced it at $39.5 million. Angle, Vila and Barrett could not immediately be reached for comment. The house has been on the market since November 2023, when it was first listed at $52.9 million by one of Vila and Barrett's children, real estate agent Chris Vila of PB Realty Advisors. Brown Harris Stevens agents Liza Pulitzer, Whitney McGurk and Blair Kirwan later co-listed the property PB Realty Advisors. Angle then took over the listing alone. The homeowners reduced the price several times since the property was first listed. The house has not been for sale in nearly 50 years when it was put on the market in 2023, according to the original sales listing. It had been in Barrett's family before she bought it from the estate of her late mother, Gioconda King. King, who died in 2004, was the widow of investment banker Joseph King and had owned the house since 1975. 'It's a lovely mixture of Old Florida with a real family legacy — but brought up to 2024 standards,' Barrett told the Palm Beach Daily News last year. Vila and Barrett's improvement projects to the property were detailed and extensive, Vila told the Palm Beach Daily News for the same article. 'The house had to be completely renovated,' Vila said. 'It was lovely to look at, beautifully decorated and filled with antiques. But when you take everything out, if you are a builder, you say to yourself, 'There are problems.' The electric (system) and plumbing were antiquated, and the roof needed to be replaced.' With a fireplace, the living room connects to an expansive poolside loggia that is completely enclosed with glass windows and doors. The layout also includes a water-view main bedroom suite, a dining room and a library. A newer wing includes the kitchen, a pantry, a breakfast-and-family room, a laundry area, the two-car garage and a guesthouse addition. Outdoor-living areas also include a patio at the home's entry and an open-air brick loggia and pool patio shared by the family room and guesthouse. To the south of the family room is another patio and a slat house for growing orchids. Barrett had the house listed as her primary home in Palm Beach County property records. Island Drive runs the length of Everglades Island, an island three-quarters of a mile long in Palm Beach's Estate Section. The island is connected to the rest of Palm Beach by a short bridge to Island Road. The house on North Woods Road that Vila and Barrett listed as their mailing address on the newly recorded Island Drive deed was built in 1977, records show. With a two-car garage and a poolside outdoor loggia, the one-story house has 4,184 square feet of living space, inside and out. The MLS shows agent Jim McCann of Premier Estate Properties listed the house on North Woods Road for sale in mid-November. At one point, McCann had the Woods Road house and a vacant lot next door listed at $22.9 million. McCann declined to comment. The Woods Road house last changed hands in October 2020 for $6.28 million, courthouse records show. At that time, it was bought by the 260N Property Limited Partnership of Toronto, which in March 2022 added the adjacent vacant lot through a purchase recorded at $9.25 million. In November 2024, Vila and his wife sold, for $13.375 million, a 1940s-era Palm Beach house at 345 Pendleton Lane in Midtown. The couple had bought the Pendleton Lane house for a recorded $12.5 million in December 2023 and then carried out a modest renovation, inside and out, according to building records.
