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

Sherman, of Wilmer, Alabama, was boating in Bayou Sara near Saraland in Mobile County on June 15 along with her husband, 30-year-old Cody Sherman, and the couple’s four children.

The Alabama Law Enforcement Agency (ALEA) confirmed to Fox News Digital that two boats were involved in a collision at approximately 5:50 p.m. Sunday. Authorities said the incident involved a 20-foot Avid Center Console vessel occupied by the Sherman family and a 26-foot Regulator Center Console.

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

Two other passengers aboard the Avid vessel sustained injuries in the crash. Cody was transported to USA Health University Hospital in Mobile for medical care. One of the Shermans’ children, 4, was taken to a local hospital for treatment.

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!!”
