AZLE, Texas -- A Georgia man has been identified as the kayaker who died after a Fourth of July night collision with a motor boat on a North Texas lake.

The Tarrant County Medical Examiner's Office says 53-year-old Craig Iandoli of Roswell died in Monday night's accident. Iandoli's body was recovered Tuesday afternoon from Eagle Mountain Lake.

The Texas Parks and Wildlife Department says a man in another kayak suffered a broken leg in the accident in which three kayaks were struck while floating near a dock. Lt. Jennifer Kemp says two of the kayaks did not have required lighting.

The driver of the motor boat stopped to help after the accident.

Authorities said Iandoli was kayaking with his family. His adult son was also reportedly hurt, according to Dallas television station WFAA. The son suffered only minor injuries, authorities said.

The accident is still under investigation.
