Last year, a New Milford man - 33 year old Richard Layton Jr. - crashed his boat on Candlewood Lake, killing himself and one other person. The investigators attribute this crash to alcohol.
According to Courant.com, "State environmental conservation police released a 300-page report Tuesday on their investigation of the nighttime accident involving 33-year-old Richard Layton Jr."
Police say that an 18 foot bass boat struck Layton's 24 foot speed boat in July, but say that it was Layton's fault because he didn't give the bass boat the right of way and was intoxicated at the time of the crash. According to police, Layton was drunk and driving recklessly that night.
A passenger on Layton's boat, 27 year old Jason Wanat of Redding, also died in the crash. A second passenger on the speedboat was also seriously injured. The men on the bass boat both escaped serious injury.
