HOUSTON POLICE FAILURE TO STOP RENDER AID CRASH LAURA KOPPE AT US 59. At approximately 5:30 p.m. a Houston man who had rented a pontoon boat was enjoying the afternoon with sixteen other family members and friends about thirty yards from shore. Several children were in the water when he decided to join them. After a short time, it was evident he was in distress as the boat had floated away from him. Of the remaining passengers on the pontoon boat, no other person had knowledge of the operation of the boat to get it closer to him. As family members started to yell for help a homeowner sitting in his living room along the water’s edge heard the commotion and then saw the man in distress. He immediately ran out the back door and grabbing a flotation device on the way to the water he dove in and swam to the man who had no slipped under the water.
