Mohave County Boat Crash on the Colorado River Sends Three to Hospital Near Lake Havasu

Mohave County, AZ (December 17, 2025) – Police are investigating a boat crash on the Colorado River that injured three people near Lake Havasu in western Arizona on Friday afternoon.

According to the Mohave County Sheriff’s Office, deputies responded around 3 p.m. on December 12 to reports of a serious boating accident near the mouth of the Colorado River. 

Crews from the San Bernardino County Fire Department in California also assisted at the scene.

Before emergency responders arrived, nearby boaters stepped in and pulled three individuals from the water. 

Fire crews transported the injured victims by boat to Lake Havasu State Park, where ground ambulances then took them to a local hospital for treatment.

Authorities reported that two of the individuals sustained minor injuries, while a third suffered more serious injuries. No additional victims were involved.

Investigators believe the boat struck a sandbar, causing it to flip and eject all three occupants. 

The vessel reportedly came to rest upside down in approximately five feet of water. 

The crash remains under investigation by the Mohave County Sheriff’s Office.
