The charges stem from the 9:24 p.m. collision Monday near Cramer Point on Lake George that killed 8-year-old Charlotte McCue and hurt her mother, Courtney McCue, both of Carlsbad, California. They were on a boat that police said was hit by West's, with West fleeing the crash scene.

Among the statements was one from a passenger on the McCue boat, which was being driven by the girl's grandfather, who the family was visiting on vacation. They had been out for about an hour and were headed home.

The passenger, whose name was blacked out in the statement, said the family boat was headed west slowly when another boat slammed into its right side.

"With zero advanced notice, everything changed," he told police. "I didn't see anything around us, I didn't hear anything around us. All of the sudden, there was a bow of another boat charging up the right side of the boat, near Courtney and Charlotte. The boat cleared ours and Courtney screamed, 'We're hurt.'"

He graphically described the girl's severe injuries and the pandemonium on the boat as it became clear the girl's injuries were fatal.

"I just screamed, 'No, no, no,'" he said. "It was overwhelming."
