(This guy has totally screwed up soooo many lives with his desire to be the big man on the lake with all his toys and doing it while intoxicated.)
A crane company executive has been charged with homicide after allegedly operating a boat while intoxicated and crashing into another boat, killing a female victim, on the Fox River near McHenry Saturday.
MCHENRY, Ill. (WLS) — The man accused of causing a deadly boat collision on the Fox River over the weekend appeared in court on Monday for the first time as prosecutors detailed the events leading up to the crash and his prior history of traffic-related offenses.
Richard Stevenson, 45, faces three felony charges, including reckless homicide and aggravated driving under the influence. A judge ordered Stevenson detained as the case moves forward.
During the court hearing, prosecutors outlined a timeline of events leading up to Saturday’s collision. They alleged Stevenson was operating a 30-foot pontoon boat under the influence of alcohol at 80 miles per hour before striking another boat on the river, killing one of two people on board.
“It’s terrible,” neighbor Jane Sexton said. “It’s horrific. It’s a tragedy. It’s not just the people that were on the boats.”
Security footage from a home along the Fox River allegedly showed the pontoon Stevenson was driving Saturday afternoon. According to the family that provided the video, their cameras captured the pontoon traveling south on the river and then, about an hour and 45 minutes later, heading north. About a minute later, they said they heard the collision.
Richard M. Stevenson, 45, of Lisle, was charged with one count of reckless homicide and one count of aggravated driving under the influence causing a crash involving great bodily harm.
The McHenry Township Fire Protection District and McHenry County Sheriff’s Office responded around 2:30 p.m. Saturday to the 1800 block of South Fernwood Lane in unincorporated McHenry for a report of a boat crash.
Fire crews arrived and found a crash involving two boats on the Fox River south of the McHenry Dam after receiving multiple 911 calls about the incident.
An occupant of one of the boats was pronounced dead at the scene by paramedics, McHenry Township Fire Protection District Battalion Chief Chris Kozel said.”
“The Illinois Department of Natural Resources Police arrested Stevenson and transported him to the McHenry County Jail on the felony charges, jail records show.
Bystanders said the two boats were both traveling north on the river when the bigger boat was speeding and ran over the smaller boat in a no-wake zone.”
“Another video, recorded as a child played on nearby swings, showed the pontoon passing by at 12:40 p.m., nearly two hours before the crash.
Prosecutors said Stevenson’s pontoon entered a no-wake zone and struck the rear of a green Crownline boat. A woman seated in the passenger seat of the Crownline was driven over and decapitated, prosecutors said. Her husband was taken to a hospital.
According to prosecutors, the pontoon came to rest on a riverbank, where a witness on Riverside Drive found Stevenson. He was later taken to a hospital, where a blood draw allegedly showed a blood alcohol concentration of 0.20, which prosecutors said was 2.5 times the legal limit.”

I truly hope that Trump knows better than to think this agreement has ANY CHANCE of actually holding. Islam doesn't give a shit about any agreements with infidels. To them, it is honorable to lie to the unbelievers. They will use this to build up their weapons and men, just like they ALWAYS have done and they will break the agreement at some time in the future and innocent people will die.
I'd give that thing one hour in the Florida woods and somebody would be riding around with it tied on the tailgate showing his friends.
"Dropped it with the second shot ... and I found a chainsaw laying right next to it."
A driver in Monterrey, Mexico, found out the hard way that some things are not always what they appear to be — especially when a cartoon-inspired illusion is involved.
The woman reportedly crashed her vehicle into a wall after mistaking a detailed mural of a tunnel entrance for an actual road. The artwork featured Wile E. Coyote painting a fake tunnel on a wall, a direct reference to the classic Looney Tunes gag where the character attempts to trick the Road Runner by creating the illusion of a path through a wall.
From a distance, the mural was so realistic that the driver reportedly believed the road continued through the painted opening. Instead of passing through a tunnel, she collided with the wall beneath the artwork, turning a famous cartoon joke into a real-life accident.
Images showing the damaged vehicle next to the mural quickly spread across social media, with many people amazed by the irony of the situation.
The mural’s realistic design has also sparked conversations about the power of street art and optical illusions. While many viewers found the situation humorous, it also served as a reminder for drivers to stay alert and not rely solely on what they see from a distance.
