Mohave County Sheriff's Office Press Release:
FATAL BOAT COLLISION ~ LAKE HAVASU CITY AZ
Our waterways are no joke, so please boat responsibly!

FATAL BOAT COLLISION- LAKE HAVASU

On Saturday (9/12) at approximately 7:08 PM, Deputies from The Mohave County Sheriff's Office Division of Boating Safety responded to the area of Cattail Cove State Park on Lake Havasu in reference to a reported boating collision.

Upon arrival, Deputies located a 2019 36' Douglas Marine boat upside down on land on the Arizona side, just north of Cattail Cove State Park. Deputies located two victims who were unresponsive near the boat. Deputies immediately began to perform life saving measures. San Bernardino County and Lake Havasu City Fire Departments also responded. Ultimately both victims were pronounced deceased on scene.

The initial investigation shows that the watercraft was traveling at a high rate of speed when it struck a large peninsula, and then became airborne. The boat continued through the air, where it landed in a boat-in campsite north of the initial impact.

The occupants were identified as Charles Romer (65 of Lake Havasu City) and Jennifer Luzzi (59 years of Lake Havasu City). This incident is still under investigation.
