Two people were hospitalized Sunday night when their personal watercraft collided with another off Lido Key, the Florida Fish & Wildlife Conservation Commission said.
FWC spokeswoman Hailee Seely told ABC7 that investigators believe two personal watercraft, each carrying two people, collided head-on.
All four occupants were thrown into the water and assisted to shore by good Samaritans. Two people aboard one of the watercraft received minor injuries. The operator and passenger of the first vessel sustained minor injuries. The two people on the other watercraft were taken to a hospital for treatment.
This incident remains under active investigation.
