Looks like it happened at night?

[MagicMan]

Sounds like a hit and run, unless the boat that took off did so due to seeking medical attention. This is a dangerous area to run at high speeds at night let alone if drinking involved. Sad to hear any boater passing away or injured, my hearts sinks whenever I hear this. Hope everyone else is ok.

We were having lunch at the Turtle yesterday, and I was VERY surprised at just how many boats & pwc were out!

 

[monkeyswrench]

Really sad when the best thing read is "all accounted for".

I can't see hitting another boat, running, mooring, and driving to the hospital...If you hit hard enough to need medical, others do to. It looks to be in this case it was a lot worse. I don't know "who" was at fault, but I'd wager "what" helped it along....

Yesterday, Wednesday, the lake was packed. We went from the marina to 3 dunes and most every cove had boats in it. We got the last spot open at 3 dunes, not my favorite place, too much loud music and not so considerate people at that place. It worked out in the end and had an enjoyable day across from the main beach.

Their dog is now safe and accounted for.

Dog thought drowned in fatal Lake Havasu boat crash found wandering shoreline
BRANDON MESSICK JUNE 04, 2020
A watercraft accident between two boats Wednesday night killed one person and left another passenger in critical condition. As first responders attempted to clear the debris, a dog was set adrift on the waves of Lake Havasu.

A day later a pit bull-terrier was found wandering near the California shoreline – and still wearing its canine life vest.

Emergency dispatchers received multiple witness reports at about 10:30 p.m. in reference to the accident, with multiple passengers ejected into the water. Good Samaritans were able to retrieve one person from the water prior to deputies’ arrival. A second person, identified as 66-year-old Phoenix resident Richard K. Williams, was recovered from the wreckage by Mohave County Sheriff’s deputies. Williams was pronounced dead at the scene.

According to investigators from the sheriff’s office, the two victims were traveling in a Bayliner watercraft in the area of Site Six when their boat struck another boat nearly head-on. Officials say no occupants of the second boat were injured in the crash.

Havasu resident and Community Emergency Response Team member Bob MacMillan knew authorities were searching for a missing dog after the accident. And when he took his family for a Thursday morning excursion on Lake Havasu, he didn’t believe it was a coincidence when he saw a large pit bull-terrier standing near the California shoreline.

“I saw him on the hill, a bright-colored dog in a life jacket,” MacMillan said. “He was about 70 to 80 pounds, and definitely in distress. We walked him down to the water and called the sheriff. They didn’t have a boat nearby, so we loaded the dog onto our Jet Ski and very slowly brought him across the lake to the Site Six launch ramp.”

Lake Havasu City Animal Control officers met MacMillan and his family at the location, where they took custody of the dog and transported it to Havasu’s Western Arizona Humane Society animal shelter. According to law enforcement officials, the dog will be reunited with its surviving family.

Western Arizona Humane Society representatives were unable to disclose many details about the animal Thursday, but described it as healthy and safe in their custody.

Citing an active investigation, Mohave County investigators indicated that alcohol and drugs were considered to be a possible factor in the accident, as well as low lighting conditions and speed.

Our prayers go out to the families involved ! May this tragedy remind us to be safer and that stupid people do stupid s***t no matter how carefully we plan. Designated drivers save lives cuz every family member matters even when it's not my own!!!

 

[ONE-A-DAY]

Wow, amazing story, life jackets save lives.

 

[Mototrig]

.....wait the dog was found wandering on the CA shoreline? Didn't this incident occur near the AZ side? That's a helluvaway's to doggy paddle

 

[comfortably numb]

Sad for the family but just another reason to put a vest on your pups.
