Based upon what was released on the drivers social media basically saying that he was going to put the hammer down all weekend this witnesses report sounds pretty spot on.

No respect and immaturity goes a long way to being completely incompetent

It is absolutely clear as to what caused this accident. Maybe the fishing boat was not properly lighted but they were in a 10 km boating zone and did not deserve to die. On a highway if a car is doing 80 mph in a 10 mph zone he is guilty of a crime......water is the same.

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.

As a boater myself I find that most people that boat are responsible citizens while on the the water . There are however some very irresponsible people behind the steering wheels of some boats as I have witnessed. As a fisherman with a similar boat involved in the crash I try not to be on the water after dark . The loss of life and to those injured should never have happened. It is clear that the speed boat clearly ran over the stern of the fishing boat while being driven in a willful reckless manner. The operator of this speed boat should be charged with criminal negligence causing death . Such a loss of three people being killed.

problem is that people have seen him the last years , know what boat and have smart phones that can record him , and never report the dummy. Now 3 kids are dead . The post he made a head of time bragging tells you exactly what type of individual. I hope the judge makes an example out of him and gives him many years to think about it and is never allowed to operate any machine again . Not even an electric tooth brush .

That boat is a racing boat - pure and simple. Add what looks to be a 250 hp motor, and you have a machine that is capable of speeds well in excess of 100 ( up to 120) kph. Idle speed for that boat is likely close to the 10 kph speed limit. To be a running a boat like that after dark at higher speeds is nothing short of careless and dangerous operation of a motor vehicle, especially in a posted 10 kph speed zone. Boats don't have brakes. If you have ever been in a boat travelling much over about 70 kph, you quickly realize that you are covering water so quickly, it is extremely difficult to avoid a floating hazard object on a bright sunny day. Damn near impossible at night. A shame that so many people have had to die or be injured because of one irresponsible maniac!

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%.

Canadian Collision Regulations. "Rule 6 Safe Speed - International Every vessel shall at all times proceed at a safe speed so that she can take proper and effective action to avoid collision and be stopped within a distance appropriate to the prevailing circumstances and conditions. In determining a safe speed the following factors shall be among those taken into account: (a) By all vessels: (i) the state of visibility, (ii) the traffic density including concentrations of fishing vessels or any other vessels, (iii) the manoeuvrability of the vessel with special reference to stopping distance and turning ability in the prevailing conditions, (iv) at night the presence of background light such as from shore lights or from back scatter of her own lights, (v) the state of wind, sea and current, and the proximity of navigational hazards, (vi) the draught in relation to the available depth of water. The crash occurred about an hour after sunset. (i.e.- low visibility) It appears the speedboat failed to proceed at "safe speed" by definition.

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.

That poor man who witnessed it. You can hear his pain and distress. I hope you find some peace ❤

Lights or not on the fishing boat, had the other boat been doing 10 km hour the impact of this would have not made the newsreel, people would have lived. Given his online post, past history and witness accounts he deserves to be locked up for life

WOW!!! THAT'S AS SAD AS IT GETS FOR THOSE FAMILIES. I know Bob's Lake. It's a beautiful place where friends of mine had a cottage. It's a serene landscape typical of Cottage Country in Rural Eastern Ontario. Speed Boats like the one in this tragic story have no place on a lake that size. Anyone who puts a boat like that in the water isn't going to abide by the speed limits or they would not own that type of boat. Why he didn't have proper lighting on the boat to prevent hitting something in the dark is a serious lack of awareness on his part. I feel terrible for the families who lost loved ones due to this accident waiting to happen. May they find peace in some way to help them through.

I live on a small lake. There are too many ah who think freedom means violating the freedom of others.

Should not be on plane after dark. Prayers for the families.

& the season just got started… another me myself and I that doesn’t care about anyone else but themselves. Rip to the victims

The owner of the speed boat will go to jail as he already posted his intentions of racing his boat in May, even though there was a 10 mph speed limit.

What a disaster....waste of lives....if the guy continually broke the speed limit....why was this behaviour tolerated??

So sorry there beautiful young woman and their friend had to die , I feel so sad for all the families and friends. On account of a speedfreak that could not wait for daytime and a clear view of what and who was in sight. Condolences to all loved ones of all

Entitlement and complete and utter disregard for safety and life

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

Where I live, there are no speed limits on the lakes. At night you go very slowly because there are no headlights on most boats. One would think that the fishing boat had it’s running lights on. You really can’t be too careful on the water at night.

I hope they are in prison for a long time. It’s criminal negligence

Heartbreaking....heartbreaking😢😢😢😢😢😢

This catastrophe should be the event that finally addresses boat licensing and consequences - heinous crime.

Sincere condolences to the friends and families of the victims. Incredibly sorry about your loss.

I’m am so sorry for the young people’s family and friends. Condolences.,💐

This reminds me of the roads here, with too many drivers who think its a need for speed movie in real time in real traffic with real people in the other vehicles. I love going fast more than anyone but not when it means risking people's lives. If you gamble with other peoples life like that your a giant A hole IMO.

i hear the local authorities are giving the perp TWO slaps on the wrist.

No regard for posted speed limits. No regard for anyone on the lake. Acting superior above others. Should get three life sentences for those he took.

Wow how sad, what a nightmare for the family involved.

This was the perfect storm of what's been going on on Bob's Lake for some time: people not following boating regulations, disregard for neighbors with loud music which likely obscured the approach of the speed boat, testosterone driven driving and I'm afraid that soon we'll hear about the lack of life jackets. The county and municipality needs to step up re regulations. Neighbors in the lake have seen this coming for a while as this gentleman points out. We all knew the sound of this speedboat, even across the lake in the wide basin.

Criminal negligence at the least.

Nobody had lights on? Clearly dude that hit them in the dark deserves prison.

Why go to a lake full of people with a speedboat? Theres lots if rivers and stuff with no people around and you can go as fast as you want ...this guy sucks

The boat driver is from very rich family. Justice in Ontario isn't blind. It caters to the rich. Welcome to Canada. You only face justice if you're poor.

You can be the reasonable one but when a drug drive drunk driver or a narcissistic driver rams into you, what do You Do? Terrible for the young people and their families.

The speed limit is 10 mph and this guy regularly brings his speedboat?

How the hell are there not charges. If I was speeding on the 401, caused a crash that killed people, it’s vehicular manslaughter…why is he any different?

My heart goes out to the families and friends

An absolute tragedy caused by someone who thinks of his speed boat, as a toy! A toy for HIS pleasure, with immature people, the thrill they get hearing the powerful engines is everything! Only a fool runs a boat at high speed after dusk, and definitely not after dark! Even a small boat with legal lighting is very difficult to see at any distance, you need to be concentrating and cautious. My heart goes out to the families who will never be the same, also to the people who came to help in the aftermath. If you see repeat offenders on the water, video them and report them, nobody needs to die in a boat collision!

That driver was a real jerk driving like that. Putting others lives at risk. Deplorable, reckless behaviour.

Breaks my heart❤🙏 what a senseless tragedy that never should’ve happened.

Judge should sentence the driver to wear a Diaper and hold a sign at boat ramp stating “ I killed people speeding at night in a no wake zone .”

Condolences to the families and RIP to those lost

You got my guns , you might as well ban my boat now....

Boat driver's parole officer hasn't even been born yet.

Notice how nobody got charged yet 3 people are dead and more injured. I wonder if it's a friend of the OPP or some high up rich dude (Like a Marco Muzzo type) that will never see any consequences?

If you have a high speed capable boat. First and most important is to operate in a safe manner at all times. Second most important rule when you get on a boat always always wear a life vest. Under a seat or deck is no good.

Condolences to the families who lost loved ones

I don't know why, all reports by media seem to be one sided. But I'm pretty sure that after dark any boat on the water must have lighting so that others can see you are present and can avoid a collision. No one has mentioned that, and I can't tell from these pictures if either boat had the required lighting. Without those lights the boat is not permitted to be on the lake after dark and most small fishing boat owners know that especially if they know a boat is a known speed offender. The 10/hr limit applies to when within 100 feet from shore. I don't know if that is the case, it's also wasn't reported factually.

Sucks for the fishing boat but he’s definitely getting an insurance claim for a new boar it’s definitely getting written off

i know in smaller towns the police sometimes take their time before charging someone, but this is getting silly. It's pretty clear which boat is on top of the other and who died.

It's not like the speedboat driver was a young kid, he was a grown Professional man. He used his boat as a weapon and should be charged accordingly. Our Condolences to the Family and Friends of the victims. May their Souls Rest In Peace.

Was booze and/or drugs involved? I haven't heard a thing yet.😢 Soo sad. We love to fish in a small 14ft 9hp. My daughter kayaks with her kid..

If the drag boat driver was illegally operating his vessel, he will see a few years in prison. If he was BWI, he should see a t least a decade in prison. What a senseless tragedy.

No charges yet huh-multiple murder charges life no parole or death penalty.

Here's your go to jail pass, finally. This guy has a teenager mentality, thinks he invincible & just killed innocent people.

"No charges has yet been laid..." That means there's not going to be any real charges. Probably give him a ticket for wake violation.

How sad! I have cottage on lake kamaniskeg in Barry’s bay! I like going quick to, but that being said you should always be way more visual and aware of you’re surroundings at night when operating a vessel.. especially one at kinda speed.. he better be held accountable for his actions..

They're speeding cuz there's no traffic lights ? Sometimes, people have to use common sense; unfortunately , some people don't have it .

2:22 My girl and I…first trip. The ’girl’ is his daughter, which was hospitalized

There should be at least an operator negligence charge with more charges to come.

No lights speed and wreckless behavior
