Deadly Ontario boat crash witness says he's seen same boat speeding many times before 

Enough

5 year jail term please

​@@jacquespage888for each life with no possibility of parole

the lifetime ban should be easy to inforce considering he should get life in prison

It's a negligence causing death or vehicular manslaughter. I would assume with a criminal history he would see 20 years, without a criminal history he will be back on the street within 10 years.

I'd love for that to be the Judge's final line before sentencing "And to quote you, good sir..."

Most likely a Liberal judge, so no jail.

Where are the charges?

And traumatized this poor guy being interviewed

Well said. Sorry for the family, but hope it does not wreck boating for everyone. Throw the book at the person at fault.

Men*

Partly, but it's also the karens and darens who will shout the loudest for even more regulations. There was already a speed limit and the dillhole witness sounds like he never actually reported this guy for speeding before so he is part of the problem by ignoring the problem. Where is water patrol? Around you here water patrol seems to be all over the f'n place just looking to bust anyone and everyone for anything and everything.

He killed two wonderful young women and one young man and the other young man is fighting for his life in the hospital. All were in that fishing boat listening to music

uh, i think he's dead.

I am state side, how are the laws up there?

@@fishmonger6879 very strict boating rules. The speedboat driver was guessed by a witness to be travelling at around 60 miles an hour in a 10 zone. Driving along the shoreline

From his social media posts, you could almost call it "premeditated".

Then You Know the Regulations for Anchorage after Dark Near a Narrow Navigation Channel Right?

Where did you get the idea they were anchored ?​@@SCVM__

@Rocksteady246 The Only and Correct Answer is NO

I know, he was trying to get up to the speed where his type of boat settles flat, meaning he was trying to get up to 40-60. On his acceleration his nose would be up so high in the air he has to look around the boat to even see (I had the same style hydro-planing boat) that's when he hit them, as you can see from the damage, his nose was already in the air during the time of impact. He wouldve hit those 3 people directly with the nose and side of his boat.

Those boats encourage high speeds because they are able to glide over waves coming directly at them. With other boats you start getting that impact from the choppiness, his boat you just float like a cloud.

Try both boats!

@@boyce5994 and at that time he wouldnt have been ontop of the water yet so the boat wouldnt even have been going that fast yet

@@boyce5994 every boat comes out ontop of the water its called plaining some boats cant really do it but those are big yachts

I disagree. Now he can remember what he did for the rest of his life. Life in prison for that. RIP to those that had their lives stolen by this prick.

i hate to say it but sadly not much will probably happen to this guy i wouldnt doubt it if he maybe gets 3 years for all 3 deaths ...

@@GWNorth-db8vn reporting nothing does nothing to. If you tell police about a car on the road , they go after them . But like i said , doing nothing cost 3 lives .

the thing is, what can you report? nobody follows up with reports anymore, nobody cares about anything. all the systems are broken. it is not politically correct to name and shame, or enforce anything, or fine rich people for breaking the rules. all the powers do is wait to pick up the bodies.

Clutch Your Pearls Tighter for the Media Mr "Fishing Adventure". You obviously didn't listen well, Don't know the Lake and Regulations ... Or Worse

​​@@SCVM__Someone didn't listen well....and that person is you. It's been stated many times on many different reports that the channel it happened in is a designated 10km/h zone. You probably aren't even Canadian 😂

@Rocksteady246 And? Nothing. Unrelated to the accident

Yes he should have been sited many times by the water police and warned. How he wasn't is terrible. That boat should never be allowed to be used on a lake. And I am sure people complained many times. So....very terrible outcome that he finally did the damage everyone knew would happen. And he was enabled to continue acting like a maniac because he was for some reason allowed. People get fined for fishing out of season....but wreckless known drivers driving insane boats are good? Such a very senseless tragic accident that could have been prevented. Just not right.

For an obvious reason!

he strikes me as the kind of guy that complains about anyone and everyone that disrupts his lake peace in anyway

There are multiple other factors, that got him out of it. He was not going over speed, and he said his wife was driving who was sober. Same time of night however, early night time they come back in thinking nobody else is out there without lights.

@Rocksteady246 according to experts, the red speed boat was photographied with beer can on the dash.

@Rocksteady246 He better hope so...or he's playing the skin flute in an 8x10 cell.

I used to drive tow truck and eves dropped on the cops with a scanner. I can assure you they take impaired drivers seriously and would be on a guy passed out at a light like flies on $%*t. It could have been the 911 call taker screwed up, (I have called in something and then listened to it get dispatched completely differently than I described it to the call taker) or maybe they had some sort of major incident that pulled police resources away from the area you were in and they had nobody in position to attend.

@@tony--james 😢

@Rocksteady246 yeah I do. Actually the mother of my grandchild was close friends with all four of those kids. I also have friends that live right on the bay that witnessed the tragedy

I saw another cottage owner interview on TV , she said, last year this guy had a habit of gunning it close to shore,

@@tony--james he was probably thinking of Kevin O'Leary, If he can do it and get away with it so can I attitude. I am convinced he did it on purpose for some personal reason.

@@playforfun-gp2bn That's just stupid. He may have been showing off as he has a history of doing, but deliberately hitting another boat with people in it? He would have to be suicidal, because he could have died as well. Not sure what his injuries are but probably pretty severe. These accidents are going to be more and more common as time goes on. Some of the jetskis out there are insanely fast and usually driven by people without regard for their own safety or others. More and more fast watercraft on the lakes makes it inevitable this will keep happening.

It's dark and you can't see clearly 100 yards in front of you, especially if the aluminum boat had it's stern facing the speedboat and no lights on. When he gunned it, the bow of the speedboat would raise until it planed and by that time he was on top of the aluminum boat.

If you've ever boated at night, you'd know you cant see 10ft in front of you. No way he could've seen them if he was at speed.

100 % and you know they all vote conservative, too.

Bang on brother!!

@Rocksteady246 Nope, but i'd say you are, Bro!

Not defending the speeder. The regulations apply to everyone. Lights are required after dark for a reason. It's not to prove a point, but to not get hit. Is it the speedboats fault, of course it is 100%.

He saw them and he killed them

He'll probably claim the brakes failed.

Y Wouldn't Ya ?

@@mediaisevil6730 that comment is disgusting

Bob's lake is massive, this is just a bay in Bob's lake. The boat is not massive, it has an outboard ~225hp typical for most 18ft+ bass boats and speedboats of that size. There are dozens of these on every lake on every weekend in Ontario. The driver is to blame, not the boat/size/outboard.

it would be hard to find a boat any smaller

@@joez1589 if the boat he hit did not have lights on and he wasn't impaired then case closed. They don't confirm either.

You can see the Port/Starboard lights on the fishing boat but obviously not the tail rear white light since the speedboat is on top. These lights are usually pretty unreliably as few people boat at night and therefore are not maintained often but again can't gaurentee anything. There was a rear light on the speed boat. Usually the rear light is removeable and it looks like it does have port and starboard lights so I would say that it is a safe assumption that the speedboat was lit and the fishing boat it is unclear whether it was lit. All that said, having boated close to 25 years, I would not feel comfortable hitting more than 30 km/h on a well lit full moon night, on a lake that I am very familiar with, let alone speedboat speeds.

Very disgusting

Because the Oh PeePee only has time to respond to fatalities. There's no time for running around writing tickets or sniffing out drunks. Much easier when the carnage comes to rest, then show up when nobody can get away.

Like the kids drinking on a anchored boat in the dark without the proper white lights around the whole boat on like the law requires ? Anyone would hit them the way they were sitting

probably has money

So dramatic

Why did they get your guns?.
