At Lake Mead National Recreation Area on Saturday, a boat accident claimed the lives of a man and a woman.
A statement from the Nevada Department of Wildlife states that the two residents of Las Vegas were involved in an accident with another boat at approximately 7:30 p.m. Charges of operating a vessel while under the influence were brought against a second man who was involved in the collision. Game Warden Lt. Chris Walther said in the statement, “This is a somber reminder of the importance of being aware of our surroundings and keeping an eye out for other recreationists when we are on the water.” Additionally, boaters should always operate their craft with respect for the visibility, water conditions, and volume of boat traffic.
The crash’s specifics and the names of those involved were withheld by the Department of Wildlife. Terry Farris, 48, died near the Callville Bay boat ramp from blunt force trauma, according to the Clark County coroner’s office. The death was deemed an accident. As of Monday afternoon, the woman remained unidentified, and the coroner’s office had not rendered a determination regarding the cause or manner of her death.
For over thirty-six hours, no government agency made the fatalities public. On Sunday, a National Park Service representative sent questions to the Nevada Department of Wildlife. The National Park Service delayed sending a statement regarding the drowning fatalities of Aaron Bivens on July 1 and Kristopher Ross on July 30 earlier this month. According to John Haynes, the public affairs officer for Lake Mead, on Monday, there have been 22 drownings in the lake this year.
