He might not have been guilty of anything, until he fled the
scene of the crime. Sad... he should really have know better.

It's one thing to ram a boat that was making a U-turn in front
of you; quite another to motor away from bodies floating in
the water. Turns out Rush knew the Herbert family, but I
don't think he'll be selling them a boat, now.

Man held on $1 million bond in boating crash that killed 3

LAKE HAVASU CITY - A California man was being held on $1 million bond
in the deaths of three people killed in a weekend boating accident.

Grier Dean Rush, 62, of Maywood, Calif., was charged with failure to
stop after a watercraft collision in Parker Justice Court on Monday.

Rush, the owner of Rush Performance Boats, was allegedly operating
the boat that struck a jet boat driven south of Parker Dam on Friday
night by Jonathan Herbert, 21, of Laguna Hills, Calif.

Herbert, his 18-year-old sister Jaquel Herbert and Ashley Rollins,
18, of Mission Viejo, Calif., were killed in the crash. Another
person in the boat, 18-year-old Josh Rogers, was critically injured.

Authorities initially thought Rush was one of the victims in the
accident because he couldn't be found after the collision. On Sunday,
he turned himself into La Paz County authorities.
