Brentwood, CA (April 20, 2026) – Six individuals were injured in a boating accident early Sunday morning, April 19, amid a high school fishing tournament in Brentwood. The incident occurred shortly before 7:00 a.m. In the San Joaquin Delta, roughly three-quarters of a mile south of Orwood Resort. Reports indicate that one boat had come to a stop on the water when another vessel collided with it from behind.

Passengers were rescued from the water by a nearby boat prior to the arrival of emergency services. Four injured individuals were transported to nearby hospitals for care. A teenager sustained broken ribs and a punctured lung, while an adult was hospitalized overnight. Every boat involved had two teenage participants and one adult operator.
