A back flip cliff dive into Lake Havasu proved fatal for a California teenager. The victim of the Friday accident is identified as Chance Huerta, 16, Victorville.
The Mohave County sheriff’s office said Huerta landed wrong after he jumped into the lake near Mohave Rock about 4:20 p.m. “The victim came to the surface briefly, before witnesses on scene lost sight of him,” said spokeswoman Anita Mortensen.
Side scan sonar located the victim’s body which was recovered by divers at 9:15 a.m. Saturday.
