by The Editors on October 18, 2007

A memorial service for Sean Carter, the teenager who went missing after a PWC crash last week will be held Saturday at 2 PM at the Elk’s Lodge according to a notice in the North County Times. Though an “intense rescue effort” from Oceanside to Carlsbad was made the boy’s body has still not been found.

Carter is presumed dead seven days after he and Doug Carter, his 21-year-old brother, crashed head-on into each other while riding Sea-Doos just south of the Oceanside Pier last Wednesday. Doug Carter reached his unconscious brother in the minutes after the crash, but could not save him from sinking. Although wearing wetsuits, neither brother was wearing a life jacket as required by California law.
