Police are appealing for information after a woman was seriously injured following a jet ski crash last month in Sydney’s south.
Emergency services were called to Brighton Beach at Brighton Le Sands, about 4pm on Sunday 17 September 2023, following reports two jet skis had collided.
Officers attached to Marine Area Command arrived and found that one of the vessels launched over the other and hit a female passenger, before the other rider fled the scene.
A 43-year-old woman was treated at the scene for significant facial injuries before being taken to St George Hospital in a stable condition. Her injuries require ongoing treatment.
