‘Bright’ Tennessee boy, 10, killed in jet ski collision on Boy Scouts campground

A 10-year-old Tennessee boy died late Tuesday after a jet ski collision on a Boy Scouts campground on Old Hickory Lake, authorities said.

Jack Gear was a passenger in a jet ski driven by a 19-year-old staff member when they collided with another watercraft operated by another staff member with another juvenile passenger.

The teen driver and Jack suffered critical wounds; the boy later succumbed to his injuries at Vanderbilt Wilson County Hospital.

Jack’s grieving dad said in a Facebook post he was “an amazing child we were blessed to have in our lives.”

Union City Elementary School Principal Allison Parker described Jack as “such a bright kid who’ll be dearly missed.”
