Man convicted in boat crash that injured 11, files for appeal

Jason Lindemann, the man convicted of crashing his boat into another boat on the Fox River in Oshkosh in 2022, has filed an appeal after being found guilty by a jury in 2024 of 14 counts including two counts of second-degree recklessly endangering safety, eleven counts of failing to render aid after a boating accident, and one count of negligently operating a boat. 11 people were injured in the incident.

Lindemann is claiming there was insufficient evidence to convict him.

Investigation into the incident showed Lindemann traveling over 40 mph around the time of the crash in a no wake zone. Lindemann now is claiming he accelerated as he cleared the no-wake zone, and should not have been convicted on felony charges.

Lindemann was sentenced to 5 months of conditional jail time and 3 years probation in the conviction.
