AN AUSTRALIAN man has been charged with negligent homicide after a
collision between two jet-skis killed a 16-year-old girl in Keehi
Lagoon, Honolulu. ''I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I can't believe what I did.
I'm so sorry,'' witnesses heard him say.
A forlorn-looking Tyson Dagley, 20, appeared in a Hawaii court on Friday
in a blue T-shirt and neck brace from injuries he sustained in the
crash last Sunday. He was held in custody on $100,000 bail and could
face up to a year in prison.
Several reports from the court said Dagley's address was Brunswick West,
Melbourne, although the Department of Foreign Affairs said he was from
Queensland.
His lawyer, Walter Rodby, said Dagley was ''heartbroken'' but did not
remember what had happened. ''He wasn't intoxicated. There was no
malice. There was no intent. It was simply an accident.''
The Australian consulate-general in Honolulu was assisting Dagley and
his family, said a Foreign Affairs spokeswoman. Dagley is back in
court on Tuesday.
Kristen Fonseca, 16, from California, died of a brain injury after
hitting her head on her jet-ski. Witnesses said Dagley was speeding
and not looking where he was going, local media reported.
Glenn Cohen, owner of Aloha Jet Ski Rentals, told police Dagley was
travelling at 64-72km/h and watching his girlfriend on the dock when he
crashed, according to court documents. But Dagley's girlfriend
reportedly told police he was travelling at slow-to-medium speed and
looking ahead.
Deleted videos retrieved from her camera by police
reportedly showed Dagley standing up on his jet-ski moments before the
collision.
A voice was heard yelling, ''Watch out,'' just before the crash, the force of which drove Dagley's jet-ski into the air.
Ms Fonseca's stepfather, Mario Canton, told reporters he was standing on
the dock and saw her slow down moments before the crash, and Dagley was
riding ''at a very high rate of speed on his jet-ski, looking toward
the dock''.

Unfortunately Trailer Park Trash or losers are not confined to only one mode of transport, that being road / vehicular transportation.
It is a well known fact that boating and consumption of alcohol amongst the Aussie yobbos is the norm rather than the exception.
A senseless tragic waste of a life in the hands of an imbecile.
In order to conceal incriminating evidence, the girlfriend of the accused, deleted videos taken moments prior to the incident that resulted in a death.
