Does anyone know anything about a hire boat losing a woman crew overboard and the skipper reversing the craft over her?

No was a couple of hire boats in the bettle and wedge last night both crammed with women.

I saw them as I am right opposite there but didn't know they were filled with women.

From BBC Radio Oxford on Friday..............
We've learned it was a woman in her 60s who died in a boating accident on the River Thames in Oxfordshire.
She was rescued from the water downstream of Cleeve Lock near Streatley on Monday afternoon.
She'd fallen in after her boat had come through the lock. She was taken to the John Radcliffe Hospital in Oxford but died that evening.
Thames Valley Police said it was treating her death as unexplained, but not suspicious.

If I remember correctly a rope got wrapped around her and the prop and it drew her in. Sounds pretty awful.
