Full Notification

A 36-year old Fremont man died after a collision that occurred on Pyramid Lake in Castaic at 1:40PM, Saturday, July 17.

A twenty foot ski boat collided with a personal water craft (WaveRunner) that had turned abruptly into his path. The ski boat operator jumped into the water to assist the operator of the personal water craft (victim) who was now face down motionless in the water. He held the man’s head above the water until personnel from a Coast Guard Auxiliary boat who had witnessed the collision quickly arrived.

They lifted the victim from the water onto the boat and transported him to shore.

Once on shore, they were met by deputies from the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Parks Bureau who immediately administered Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) to the victim. They administered CPR for approximately 25 minutes until Paramedics from the Los Angeles County Fire Department arrived.

The victim was pronounced dead at the scene by paramedics at 2:22 PM. The exact cause of death is unknown at this point. The victim suffered multiple injuries as a result of the collision. Alcohol does not appear to have been a factor.

The 32-year old Hispanic male victim is from Fremont, California.

The Parks Bureau of the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department is dedicated to providing a safe and drug free environment at all Los Angeles County parks and lakes.
