MCSO officials have identified the two men a high-speed boat crash at Lake Havasu Saturday afternoon as 57-year-old Brad Kloepfer, who was operating the boat, and 69-year-old Paul Selberg.
A critically injured woman has been identified as 58-year-old Connie Kloepfer.
According to the Mohave County Sheriff’s Office, several Good Samaritans reported that a boat had crashed in the South Basin of Lake Havasu near the Contact Point Water Safety Center around 12:30 p.m. Officials say Good Samaritans had pulled two men and one woman out of the water and were administering CPR to the two men. MCSO deputies took the three victims into patrol boats and took them to the Point Water Safety Center where Lake Havasu City emergency responders conducted life-saving measures. The three were taken to the Havasu Regional Medical Center where the two men were pronounced deceased, and the woman was listed in extremely critical condition. source
