On 5/15 at approx 1741hrs deputies were dispatched to canyon lake in reference to a boating injury that occurred at laguna beach. We were advised the victims were being transported by another boat to the aids station. Upon their arrival deputies administered medical treatment at the boat dock by stabilising the 2 victims. Both victims sustained abrasions and complained of back, leg and arm pain. 2 air evac helicopters responded to the aid station as a result of this accident. The victims were transported via air evac to scottsdale osborne hospital for further medical treatment. Information received: at about 1730hrs vessel 1 was towing a tube near laguna beach. The pwc had 2 occupants on it at the time and the tube had 2 passengers. According to witnesses at the scene, the pwc was traveling too close to the north shore line of the lake when it changed direction from north to west. Upon doing this the tube that was in tow continued to travel to the north and struck the shoreline. The tube flipped in the air and the skiers landed on several rocks on the north shore line. As a result of this incident the operator was cited for violation ars 5-346b (towing skiers too close to a hazard) and given a court date of 6/16/11. Nothing further to report. End of report.
