A woman who was critically injured in a boat crash on Flagstaff Lake in Eustis has died.

Game Wardens say seven people were on board the pontoon boat when it flipped over around 1:30 p.m. Saturday, leaving 53-year-old Farhana Nasir of Selden, New York and 23-year-old Kiran Akbar of Lake Grove, New York dead.

A third woman, 22-year-old Noor Nasir from Selden, New York, was airlifted from the scene in critical condition.

In an update on Wednesday, the Maine Warden Service said Noor died Tuesday night at Northern Light Eastern Maine Medical Center in Bangor.

Wardens say no one in the boat was wearing lifejackets.

An initial investigation found that alcohol was not a factor.

The crash is still under investigation.
