CLEARWATER, Fla. — A man was taken to the hospital after he was hurt in a crash involving a Jet Ski and another boat Saturday afternoon in Clearwater, officials said.
The city of Clearwater said in a news release that authorities received the call regarding the incident at about 2:40 p.m. and learned that the crash occurred in Clearwater Pass.
Officials said the Jet Ski collided with the other boat just west of the Sand Key Bridge. During that time, the man got hurt.
He was brought onto another boat to be taken back to shore, authorities said. From there, he was transported to Orlando Health Bayfront Hospital in St. Petersburg as a trauma alert.
The city said the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) will investigate the crash.
'Cruise lights' on Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office patrol cars raise questions, confusion among drivers
Every driver knows that when you see red and blue flashing lights on a patrol car, you slow down, pull over, or get out of the way.
But in Hillsborough County, drivers will also now see deputies with their lights on, but not flashing. They're called "cruise lights," and the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office (HCSO) recently implemented their use on all patrol vehicles.
