A Marine died when his personal water craft collided with a boat on Lake Havasu Friday afternoon, according to the Mohave County Sheriff’s office.

Chad Brammer, 23, of Lambertville, Michigan was riding on the Arizona side of Copper Canyon at about 3 p.m. when he crossed the bow of a 31-foot Advantage boat, Sheriff’s office spokeswoman Trish Carter said. A witness pulled Brammer from the water, but he died at Havasu Regional Medical Center, she said. None of the six people aboard the boat was injured.
