The woman who died Saturday after crashing into a boat on the Willamette River was riding an inflatable tube at the time, the Multnomah County Sheriff’s Office said.

Officials initially reported that the woman, 24-year-old Kaileigh Seidel, had fallen from a boat before being hit by another boat.

Seidel was on an inner tube attached to a boat driven by a friend, her family said. She crashed into another boat on the river. She was taken to a nearby hospital, where she was pronounced dead.

The Multnomah County Sheriff’s Office is investigating the death.

“This has been such a traumatic experience,” said Rachelle Hunsperger, Seidel’s aunt. “Now we have to figure out what our new normal is going to be like.”
