This is the boat wreckage of the accident which killed the mother of Uber CEO Travis Kalanick on Friday.
Bonnie Kalanick, 71, died in the accident at Pine Flat Lake in Fresno, California, two hours after her boat hit a rock and crashed.
Her husband Donald was rescued and taken to hospital in a critical condition and the couple's dog also survived the accident.
