Two teens, ages 16 and 13, were killed Tuesday after their jet ski crashed into a boat on Lake Marie in Antioch, Illinois, authorities said.
Two teen girls, ages 16 and 13, were killed at a lake in Illinois on Tuesday after their jet ski crashed into a boat, authorities said. The 16-year-old girl was operating a Yamaha jet ski while the 13-year-old rode as a passenger when the crash occurred at around 5:15 p.m. on Lake Marie in Antioch, the Lake County Sheriff’s Office said.
It doesn't appear they avoided or tried to make any sharp maneuvers,' Lake County Sheriff’s Office Deputy Chief Chris Covelli told FOX32 Chicago. 'It appears they went straight into the cabin cruiser. Just seems to be a tragic, unfortunate accident.' The teens on the jet ski, who were both wearing life vests, were knocked unconscious and thrown into the water, according to authorities.
Both girls were then rushed to Advocate Condell Medical Center in Libertyville, where they were each pronounced dead. No other injuries were reported. The teens were identified as a 16-year-old girl from Lakewood, California, and a 13-year-old girl from Long Grove, Illinois. Authorities have yet to release their names. The Lake County Coroner’s Office is expected to perform an autopsy Thursday morning. CLICK TO GET THE FOX NEWS APP The crash remains under investigation.
