Hit and Run Boating Accident in Lake Havasu Kills One

On Saturday afternoon at Lake Havasu, a hit and run boating accident took the life of one man from Orange County. The victim of the boating accident, 30-year-old Eric Norris, was tubing in the lake behind a boat when he fell into the water. Floating  near the point of his fall, waiting to be picked up, Norris was struck by another boat passing by.

The boat continued moving after striking and killing Norris, not stopping to check if he was hurt or in need of help.  This action by the boat’s driver qualifies this boating accident as a hit and run, which is an accident in which a driver leaves the scene without properly consulting with the other parties involved.

Authorities say they are still looking for the boat driver who committed the hit and run. Any information relevant to the case should be sent to the San Bernardino county police.

Deaths like this one are always tragic – and sometimes they are preventable. If you have been involved in an accident, especially a hit and run, it is important that you contact a lawyer for help .

When Los Angeles Boy Drowns, Questions Are Raised

Questions have been raised concerning a boy that drowned last week in Bel Air, an accident that some believe may have been stopped fire officials had arrived in time. The same day of the drowning accident, Los Angeles fire department enforced its decision to downsize the number of engines, closing at least one engine servicing the Bel Air area that could have reached the drowning boy faster. When the drowning accident took place, the fire department did receive calls for help. At the time, the station’s two operating fire engines were out, having left only 94 minutes prior to the call. The engine that was now called to the accident arrived in more than 10 motes, a response time that evidently was not enough to save the young toddler’s life. Bill Ramsey, a retired paramedic, said his heart had been broken since the boy deserved more, according to reports. However, the local fire department reported that it was impossible to determine whether or not the now-disabled engine would have reached the boy in time.

Los Angeles Worker Killed By Shredder Machine

A worker at a warehouse in Los Angeles was killed after being consumed by a cardboard recycling shredder.

He was pronounced dead at the scene after paramedics failed to revive him.
