A passenger on Maess\u2019 boat frantically waves his arms and repeatedly screams \u201cHey!\u201d in a desperate attempt to get the driver\u2019s attention.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOh my God,\u201d another passenger screams just before the trio leap into the chilly water.<\/p>\n<p>The video \u2014 which was later posted to Facebook \u2014 shows the moment the speeding motorboat plows into Maess\u2019 fishing vessel.<\/p>\n<p>Deputies in Clatsop County and the US Coast Guard responded to the crash in the Columbia River near Tansy Point and found significant damage to the fishing boat. Maess and his two passengers, Christopher McMahon and Roni Durham, managed to jump from the fishing boat just before the crash and were later treated for non-life-threatening injuries,&nbsp;according to the Clatsop County Sheriff\u2019s Office.<\/p>\n<p>Drugs and alcohol did not appear to be a factor in the crash, deputies said. Larsen was cited for reckless operation, three counts of reckless endangerment and three counts of fourth-degree assault.<\/p>\n<p>Larsen told investigators he couldn\u2019t see where he was driving since he was sitting down. Larsen, who uses a motorized scooter on land, admitted that he probably should\u2019ve been standing at the time, according to a sheriff\u2019s report obtained by the Oregonian.<\/p>\n<p>Larsen\u2019s son-in-law, who was also on the boat at the time, told investigators that he occasionally saw Larsen using his cellphone while driving the boat. State law bans cellphone use while driving, but there are no specific laws governing cellphone use while boating.<\/p>\n<p>Larsen has denied using his cellphone while driving the motorboat, claiming that allegations to the contrary were \u201cfake news,\u201d according to the Oregonian. He has pleaded not guilty as his criminal case unfolds.<\/p>\n<div class=\"e3lan e3lan-in-post2\"><p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong><em>Adv<\/em>.<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li style=\"text-align: left;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bagfactory.com.hk\/216\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Sun Winning Ind Co<\/strong><\/span><\/a>: Manufacture of Canvas Bag, Recycle Bad in China<\/li>\r\n \t<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong><a style=\"color: #ff0000;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.theunitravel.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">TheUniTravel.com<\/a><\/strong><\/span> : Find the latest\u00a0<em>travel<\/em>\u00a0and tourism\u00a0<em>news<\/em>\u00a0from around the world.

More than five months after the crash, Maess, who is a police officer, continues to suffer vision problems, headaches and injuries to his ankle, leg and arm, according to the suit.<\/p>\n<p>McMahon and Durham have yet to file lawsuits against Larsen, although they\u2019ve hired attorneys to do so.
