GAINESVILLE - The name of the 13-year-old girl killed in a personal watercraft accident Saturday on Lake Lanier was released Sunday.

Hall County Coroner Marion Merck identified the girl as Rebecca Boughton of Loganville.

DNR spokeswoman Melissa Cummings says the accident happened around 1 p.m. Saturday at Duckett Mill Park.

"There were four young people on two Jet Skis, two on each one," she said. "They were kind of following each other."

Boughton fell off the first jet ski and was hit by the other.

Cummings says it will not be known for at least a week if charges will be filed.

"The young lady was from the Loganville area," Cummings said. "They (her family) were there with a church group."

Boughton was airlifted to Grady Hospital and was pronounced dead around 6 p.m.
