As reported last month, Shark Tank star Kevin O’Leary and his wife, Linda, were in a boating accident in Ontario, Canada that left two dead and three injured. Now Linda O’Leary is in trouble over the fatal crash.
According to NBC News, Linda O’Leary was officially charged with careless operation of a vehicle. O’Leary was driving when their boat collided with a larger boat, flipped over, and struck a man in the head. Gary Poltash was killed in the crash. Susanne Brito was hospitalized for injuries during the accident and later died in the hospital. This event occurred August 24 on Lake Joseph.
