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.
