A Putnam County tubing accident left one child dead and two others injured Tuesday afternoon, officials said.

A family member was driving a boat to pull the tube when it hit an object — likely a dock.

Two kids were rushed to a local hospital, and one later died from his injuries.

The second child’s injuries were not immediately clear.

A third victim managed to walk away from the incident.

The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission is probing the crash near 115 Star Lake Drive around 2 p.m.
