Mother in her youth ejected from boat, passing away, leaving sorrowing spouse and 4 kids after tragedy in Alabama waters

A young family in Alabama is grieving after a devastating boat accident led to the death of 27-year-old Brittney Sherman.

On June 15, Sherman, a resident of Wilmer, Alabama, was out boating in Bayou Sara near Saraland in Mobile County, accompanied by her husband, Cody Sherman, who is 30 years old, and their four children.

The Alabama Law Enforcement Agency (ALEA) told Fox News Digital that a collision involving two boats took place around 5:50 p.m. on Sunday. According to authorities, the incident occurred between a 20-foot Avid Center Console vessel carrying the Sherman family and a 26-foot Regulator Center Console.

According to officials, the impact of the collision caused Brittney to be thrown overboard. 

As a result of the crash, two other individuals on the Avid vessel were injured. Cody was taken to USA Health University Hospital in Mobile for medical treatment, while one of the Sherman children, aged 4, was transported to a local hospital for care.

The operator of the Avid boat was not injured in the collision. Likewise, the operator of the Regulator vessel was unharmed. 

The ALEA Marine Patrol Division is continuing to investigate the cause of the crash. No charges have been filed. Fox News Digital has reached out to the Mobile County Medical Examiner’s Office for comment.

Cody and Brittney shared four children together. In the wake of her passing, Cody expressed the weight of raising the children alone. 

“Brittney I love you more than anything in this world,” Cody wrote on Facebook. “I promise to take care of these babies for you, sweetheart! I know that you are up there watching over us.”

“Please show me how to do this,” added Cody. “I’m not sure how I’m gonna make it and I’m gonna do my best to make you proud. I love you until we meet again!!”
