Unborn child killed in boating accident
By Mark Hall
An unborn child was killed as a result of a boating accident on Lake Havasu Sunday night.
Rosa Suarez, 33, Lake Havasu City , was pregnant with the full-term child when the accident occurred about 8:30 p.m. in the north portion of the lake, according to Sandy Edwards, media spokeswoman for the Mohave County Sheriff's Office.
She was airlifted to University Medical Center in Las Vegas where she was listed in critical condition Monday.
Suarez was a passenger in a 1980 Renken , a 16-foot runabout. The operator of the boat, Miguel Pelayo, 23, also of Lake Havasu City , received minor injuries and was treated and released by emergency personnel.
The other boat involved was a 1993 Cheetah and was occupied by five individuals from Huntington Beach, Calif.
James Allen Tullio, 50, Rachel Tullio, 40, and their three children.
No one on that boat received any injuries.
Edwards said authorities believe alcohol was a factor in the accident.
However, no one has been charged.
The sheriff's office is not releasing any other details of the accident pending investigation , Edwards said.
"The investigation is still ongoing," she said.
My Sympathy to all parties involved. :(
