Depends. Boating regs say 10 km/h max speed within 30m of shore but they also say you MUST have navigation lights after dusk. Did the fishing boat have his white 360 nav light on? Was the speed boat within 30m of shore at the point of collision? Could be one or the other or both parties fault. Without more details could go any which way.

@@wally7856 Really???

@@Mike-ys2rr Yes really.

10 kph max within 30m of shore is standard (non posted) ..... BUT .... When posted speeds are posted as was shown in the video, that speed is the max speed

You his buddy ?​@@Mike-ys2rr

No doubt.

SHOULD HE? WHY ?

Always someone looking for a pound of flesh...who needs evidence?

Comments section seems like a Lynch mob... Here's a radical idea, let's just wait for some evidence.

@@sonnyc3826 my mistake, didn't realize you were sitting on your dock with a radar gun that night.

You'd be surprised how little speed equals a big amount of force. I was shocked when my father hit a massive buck with his car (I was in the passenger seat) and we were going around a corner on a country road so we were going 15km to 20km and the huge buck flew the length of a school bus and then it skidded even further. It's not surprising that it takes little speed for boats to get on top of each other when you remember that boats are super slick and aerodynamic shaped and water is a lubricant etc etc.

In the US that would be 6 mph roughly, just over the No Wake speed limit. It’s also called idle speed. So I agree, that boat was traveling much faster.

@@jessiec1194 I don't think speed is the problem. Take a good look at how the boats were made.

@@knowledgeandmultiskilled Fiberglass and aluminum boats have always been made that way. There are no bumpers and the operators are expected to know the boating regulations.

Probably 80-90 mph approaching a 10 mph boat

sorry for your loss

As someone who dreamt of being on a boat , I agree

I didn't see the speed boat being driven at any speed.....link please.

​@@jeffspicolli593Lol, do you think they drifted together just from the current?😂.

​@jeffspicolli593 there isn't any live footage available but most people can look at the wreck and extrapolate that.

@@jeffspicolli593 Maybe you should think before posting. Yes, the speed boat magically found it's way on top of the fishing boat all by itself. It wasn't traveling at any speed. What a lame comment.

People ..... we all need to not jump to conclusions here ... yes the speed boat is on top of the fishing boat .... many causes might cause this without the speed boat being at fault. Without actually having an eyewitness account it is difficult to make a judgment. And example is the speed boat passing the fishing boat and the fishing boat might have crossed infront of the path of the faster boat. If the driver of the faster boat had hands on the throttle, a collision could very easily cause the driver to lurch forward, causing more throttle to be applied, making it look like the speed boat was traveling way to fast. It also could have been a mechanical failure on one of the boats. I am not saying that the fishing boat is at fault or am I saying the speed boat was. I do commend law enforcement in not jumping the gun and doing what looks like a proper investigation.

Bob's lake is fine for speed boats and bass boats. Just obey the rules and regulations. Been on that lake many times and never come close to witnessing anything like this even on really busy days.

It doesn't take a boat expert to figure that out.

@@MrLEO1353 It will take a boating expert to determine if the fishing boat has navigation or anchor lights on and if the speed boat was in a restricted speed area.

@@jeffspicolli593 they did say in the video that the accident happened in a part of the channel that is speed restricted with numerous visible 10kmh signs along the bank. The editors put a shot of one of the 10kmh signs in the piece. It was that bit of information that led me to me stating the obvious in my original comment.

@@neilwhitaker6284 I have been around boats and water and your thoughts are correct. No boat ends up on top of another boat going slow. Period. It would be an incredible speed with a lifted front end to get on top the position it was in. And the police for the love of Pete must know this.....

@@danamama6766 that was what I was thinking, he was going fast to end up on top of the other boat. I suppose the police can't say anything because they don't want to say anything to jeopardize the later court case. Probably more of a policy and practice to stay quiet. They don't want to say anything that could be taken by a lawyer to make them look unbiased.

I read somewhere that he also died but not sure if that is true. If he’s alive he’s going to wish he was dead after this

One of these summers I’m going to buy a kayak. I would never go on the big lake here (location redacted) too many idiots. Lots of smaller lakes with no boat launches to go on here thankfully.

Too soon. Lots of investigation to come before charges are laid. Obviously SOMEONE was speeding, with three deaths. There will be charges. 🙄

My mom lives in Bobcaygeon. There are drunken idiots on houseboats, private yachts and offshore racers going through the locks all the time. Lot's of wealthy cottage owners in the Muskokas. When and if you actually spot an OPP cop, they seem more concerned with the amount of fish caught and whether or not you have all the appropriate safety gear onboard then they are checking whether you are fit to drive or if that blender you have visible on the top deck of your houseboat is for making smoothies or margaritas.

lol. stupid comment forposterity, global is the only news outlet that reports real news.

All mainstream news like this now. Very bad, no info, and articles are written so poorly.

the accident just happened and it is an ongoing investigation. The only clueless one here is you.

@@pacman3556 pacman is right, all the news are vague on this, as they simply don't have the info, and it's way too early in the investigation, takes time, a lot of time for this stuff to get done, it's a complex scene

@@pacman3556 it's been a few days where is the new information? Still crickets, and they do this on purpose. They never give much details. Or the OPP will take months to finish their report, but news media has moved on so not covering.

Not the boats fault, like a gun its not the gun.

A hydrofoil or something lol. Maybe if you have zero clue about a topic just don't add you stupidity to it. This looks to me like an on plane crash. I'm guessing the tunnel hull was going maybe 30mph...I'm sure that boat is capable of 90mph. If it was going any faster than 30mph it wouldn't be sitting on the pop can fishing boat like that. Terrible accident no doubt but excessive speed is not to blame

a) O'Leary wasn't driving, his wife was... and b) The other board had NO lights at night.

@@cdncitizen4700 c) Linda was just on plane, not flat out through a no-wake zone; in other words, not being irresponsible beyond a reasonable doubt.

Wow, must be nice to have all the answers. Did you see navigation lights on both boats? Were they on? Speedboat most probably at fault but everyone has to follow the regulations to avoid these terrible outcomes. Let the police do their investigation before you hang anyone.

drunk and blind according to annonymous sources.

The fishing boat has NAV lights. If they were on we would never know. But I bet that speed boat has no navigation lights

​@@jimplimkin4026the speed boat has a 360 white light on a mast on the stern. I don't see lights on the bow.

💀💀

A guy was driving the boat

Usual people this time

Gotta be whyte or it would be hush hush.

@@georgesimon6041 Maybe if they banned boats we wouldn't even need to have the discussion about skin color.

Any lights on?

@@worstknightmayor4439 Who needs lights when the boat magically goes out of control?

Alcohol and speed are a deadly combination.

"The fishing boat was moored to a concrete dock and not engaged in navigation. Therefore did not require navigation or anchor lights." also a new witness on TV said he heard the speedboat gun it, right before the crash

You sound like a reasonable person😅

Glad you got that off your chest...unfortunately other people have opinions as well and are free to express them. If you don't like the situation with others yapping then stay away from the site. D e l e t e t h i s c o m m e n t w i t h C A U T I O N >>>>>>>

How about just common sense, we do not need more regulations

@@swordslayer5602 "People living on Bob’s Lake say they have complained about the boat’s excessive speeds in the past. OPP"

Huh

@@Mmmmmmmk875 not sure if that's an enlightening tone or question tone and if it's the latter, you will need to elaborate

Ok quote me "huh" in question tone to people liking what I'm still in question of 😅🤣

Whaaat?

If people like things without have defined meaning, have I got a story for you. So it's being aledged hammas is in Canada (still not updated on the government terrorists watch page, but nothing has for years. People keep telling me that it doesn't happen in Canada). Either way I've been claiming that hammas has committed The biggest retreat in human history, for you can't get any further away from the still live hostage situation they started. Well we are getting closer to residents on the moon so, might be beaten one day. That's only if this is still considered a retreat because with thought, that public treasury money has been online extorting children, without parents permission, because to the child, thier parents are in trouble for them not being 13 yet, having an account could put thier parents in jail. hammas didn't retreat, they came to paradise if that's the moral fiber of aledged national security. When my generation was that age, common knowledge was girls had to suck a dick to get in a movie. Now that is the movie and hope that thought of self-proclaimed national heroism isn't just youthful common knowledge 😳 Hollywood Me Too movement was a while ago now and took way too long before activated. If it's a reality of this happening and being common knowledge to the youth, I'd hope it's not 20 years before something is done... and it will get done... huh

Which is ODD for "CTV", they usually lead the standard narrative.

Stupid and drunk boat operators are the root cause.

Yes i deleted my post of fishing boat having no lights after i watched video again and seen how the front of the speed boat got destroyed by the fishing boats motor ,speed was the factor

... Liberals will ban "assault boats", whatever that mean - but it sounds good.

@@iamlucidess Ban lakes too
