One killed in crash off Site Six


By David Bell
Thursday, April 6, 2006 11:19 PM MDT

 
News-Herald Photo/L.J. Frink A Mohave County Sheriff's deputy and three Lake Havasu City firefighters carry one of the victims from a pontoon boat at the Site Six docks to a waiting ambulance Thursday afternoon.  
A 14-year-old boy was killed and four others were severely injured in a two-boat collision on Lake Havasu Thursday.

Mohave County Sheriff's officials said the accident occurred around 3:40 p.m. about 50-100 yards offshore, just northwest of the handicap fishing dock at Site Six on the Island. Investigation into the cause of the crash is ongoing.

“To my knowledge all males were involved,” said Sheriff's Lt. Randy Johnson. “The 14-year-old was deceased at the scene. As I understand it, the father was on board the boat and is being treated for his injuries at this time.”

Identities of the victims are being withheld pending the investigation and notification of next-of-kin.


Early reports indicate that three people, including the boy and his father, were on a Sleekcraft boat while the other two victims were on a bass boat. The two watercraft were traveling toward each other at an unknown rate of speed prior to the crash, however exact nature of the crash is unknown as the Sleekcraft sunk following the collision. Salvage operations were ongoing as Today's News-Herald went to press.

“There were a couple of boats in the area and they got (the victims) on board their watercraft and got them in,” said Johnson.

Lake Havasu City Fire Department dispatched one ladder truck and two engines with 10 firefighters and one battalion chief to initiate emergency medical treatment. All victims were transported to Havasu Regional Medical Center.

Lake Havasu City Police, San Bernardino County Sheriff's Office and U.S Fish and Wildlife also assisted the eight Mohave County Sheriff's personnel investigating the incident.

It was the second death on Lake Havasu in 2006. On February 16, a 67-year-old California woman died when her watercraft crashed into the shore.

YEp, but it happens VERY often....Too often.

Unfortunately, I'm afraid that there will be many more stories like this in the next few months

Sad news indeed..... :(
A little more info:
LAKE HAVASU CITY, AZ - A boating accident at Site 6 in Lake Havasu has left one person dead.
Fire Battalion Chief Don Mesisca says the details are sketchy at this time.
“We had one DOA and four transported to the hospital - three with major injuries.”
The accident occurred when two boats collided just offshore. When officers arrived on the scene, one boat was circling unmanned near the docks, the other is reported to have sunk in the same area. This incident is still under investigation.

As more and more boaters hit the water, and less and less know the true "rules of the road", things like this are going to continue to happen.  :(

It's not that they don't know the "rules of the road", it's after a day at the drunkfest at the sandbar, they just don't give a rat's ass!.. Sorry but that's the facts!.. :angry

LAKE HAVASU CITY, AZ - A teenager from Tenino, Washington was killed in a two-boat collision on Lake Havasu late yesterday afternoon. The boy has been identified as 14-year old Malachi Chance. Four adult males were also injured when the two vessels collided. Sheriff's Department spokeswoman Trish Carter says alcohol and drugs do not appear to be a factor. However, the investigation is ongoing.
“The salvage company has located the sleek craft boat,” said Carter.
“It will be removed today from the water.”
Richard Hubner, 43, of Olympia, Washington and 19-year old Jordan Gaken of Lake Havasu City, who were aboard the sleek craft with the deceased, were transported to University Medical Center in Las Vegas with serious injuries. John Barnes, 66, of Moreno Valley, California and 47-year-old Steve Ellis of Fontana, California, who were both aboard the second boat were taken to Havasu Regional Medical Center, then treated and released.
The cause of the collision is not yet unknown. The incident remains under investigation by the Mohave County Sheriffs Office.

So sad.... :(  over on Hotboat, there's a post of what happened....operators veered to avoid each other, but neither seemed to BACK OFF THE THROTTLES...!! :eek

That whole area in front of Site Six is VERY DANGEROUS....especially in the evenings and on week-ends...... :beat

My condolences to those involved and am sorry to see the season gettin' off to a sad and early start such as this. I find it curious at best that the larger SleekCraft occupants came out of it for the worst than those in the bass boat. :(
