A 39-year-old Red Bluff man died in a watercraft accident Saturday on Black Butte Lake. Glenn County sheriff's deputies say Richard May died while being transported by boat to the Buckhorn Recreation Area boat ramp in Tehama County following the incident that happened around 3:34 p.m. near Grizzly Flats. The accident happened when May's personal watercraft collided with another personal watercraft being ridden by Patrick Konu, 24, of Red Bluff, deputies said. Witnesses reported Konu was approximately 30 feet behind May when May turned into his path. Lifesaving efforts by people at the scene were unsuccessful, deputies said. Deputy John Trammel is investigating the watercraft accident for the Glenn County Sheriff's Office while the Tehama County Sheriff's Office is handling the coroner's investigation. Both personal watercraft were transported to the Glenn County Sheriff's Office until the investigation is completed, officials said.
