Guy in a Fountian did the same thing on Lake Mead about 4-5yrs ago and killed 4. Speed at night is stupid, add booze and ya got double trouble. Glad no one got hurt in this time.

Probabilities... there are a lot of Fountains out there and they are fast.

My guess would be closer to 30 mph. Not enough damage for 50 to 60 on the rocks. Seen a 28 foot cuddy climb a rock cliff at 30. Killed the passenger.

This one was also from N. Cal Delta also.Probably not far from the other one.
The website it came from said that 2 people died in this crash.
Alcohol was a factor.
