Hopefully they're all related. Sounds like a busy night in Havi. Hope everyone is ok.
Only busy thing I'm glad I was involved in was standing in the line at Cold Stone's tonight...

News-Herald Photos/David Bell Personnel from the Mohave County Sheriff's Office, Lake Havasu City Fire Department and Lake Havasu City Police Department help take one of the victims of Saturday's boat accident on Lake Havasu to a waiting ambulance at Lake Havasu State Park Windsor Beach.
A collision between at least two boats south of the Sandbar Saturday afternoon resulted in 13 injures.
The whereabouts of one person involved in the crash was still unknown Saturday night.
The accident occurred shortly before 3:30 p.m. three of the victims suffered serious head injuries, according to Lake Havasu City Fire Department Battalion Chief James Whitt.
One of the boats involved carried 14 teachers from Phoenix, Whitt said.
One of the injured was in critical condition; two others were listed as serious, according to Whitt.
Rescue crews transported the victims from the Sandbar area to Lake Havasu State Park Windsor Beach, where they were taken to Havasu Regional Medical Center.
It was not known late Saturday how the accident happened.
At Windsor, paramedics treated two leg fractures, an abdominal injury and an assortment of bumps, bruises and minor lacerations. At least three people involved were not injured, Whitt said.
Dive teams from San Bernardino, Calif., and Mohave County called off the search for the missing person around 7:10 p.m. because of darkness. The search will resume this morning.
Officers from the Mohave County Sheriff's Office, Lake Havasu City Fire Department, San Bernardino County Sheriff's Office and Lake Havasu City Fire Department were involved in rescue efforts, as well as personnel from River Medical.
Thanks for the update. My thoughts and prayers are with the family and friends of the victims. This is not good news for our Lake. A tragedy of this magnitude will bring to the attention of officials to look at speed limits along this narrow part of the Lake.
That is unfortunate, but yesterday was crazy at the sandbar, of course the usual 80-90 mph runs through there with 100's of boats EVERYWHERE :yuk:
Sad to be reading about all these boating related accidents. People just need to be more aware of their surroundings when out there.
It's sad to hear about this
Any updates on this accident? Turns out I have a friend who goes to church with the missing person.
