Know your states lake laws.

[SAILSHIGH]

Dear All,

Below is a follow up artical to a accident that happened on our lake here in Oklahoma. The man driving the boat that stuck and killed one and injured another was not charged with a crime even after fleeing the scene. In Oklahoma it is only a fineable offence. A low felony even. Even if he was drunk while doing it. It was very sad to find out this from the news. I really feel bad for the people who came to our state to enjoy it to end up dieing. There will be no one to pay for it and that is a crime.

It has motivated me to know more about the laws in our state.

30 July, 2006 propeller accident on Grand Lake that took the life of Murray McGarvey, a 30 year old man from Brunswick Georgia. He was in the back of a 27 foot Formula when it was hit by a 28 foot SeaRay 280 driven by a Stillwater OK man who reportedly left the scene after the accident. The impact is thought to have been on the starboard side near the stern of the Formula which threw Mr. Murray in the water. "An autopsy report states that Mr. Murray died of multiple chop injuries from one of the boat's propellers..." Another passenger in the Formula was life flighted to a Tulsa hospital and later released.
