Those enjoying the lovely climate in Lake Havasu recently got more than they bargained for. A 29-year old Huntington Beach man, was enjoying the water by sitting in an inner tube and being pulled by a boat. Something caused him to fall out of the tube. While waiting for the boat to return and pick him up, another boat, traveling about 40 mph hit him.
The boat fled down the lake without stopping. The San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department is asking any witnesses to this incident to come forward by calling the Colorado River Sheriff’s Station at 760-326-9200. The boat is described as red, about 30 feet long with white stripes. The driver is a heavy-set man with a mustache, wearing a baseball cap. A blond-haired woman was a passenger.
Paramedics took the man to Havasu Landing Marina, where he was pronounced dead. My sympathies go out to the family of the man that died.

How awful for that man who was seriously injured by not one, but two cars while crossing Highway 18 recently – according to the San Bernardino Sun. One of the vehicles was driven by a San Bernardino County Sheriff’s deputy. Both drivers stopped to help the injured pedestrian. He was taken to a nearby hospital and treated for major injuries.
The accident is under investigation. The San Bernardino Sheriff’s department is asking anyone who witnessed this accident to call them at 760-240-7400. No one knows why the individual stepped in front of the vehicles and it is believed that he may not have been in a crosswalk.
Pedestrians are required to cross the street legally and walk in designated areas, such as a crosswalk. Motorists are required to yield the right-of-way to pedestrians who use a crosswalk. I urge the family of this man to find out where he crossed. I also hope the man did not suffer any catastrophic injuries and has a speedy recovery.
