A jet ski accident occurred tonight, days after a weekend in which four people died as a result of water accidents in Hamilton County.
About 7:50 p.m., a boater called 911 reporting that his wife and daughter were injured after a jet ski accident located at the Chester Frost boat ramp area, according to Hamilton County Emergency Services spokeswoman Amy Maxwell.
Dallas Bay Volunteer Fire Department responded to the scene and Hamilton County EMS Medic 4 took the women to Erlanger Medical Center, she said.
According to Dallas Bay Chief Marcus Fritts, two 18-year-old women collided with a woman and her daughter who were tubing and being pulled by a boat. The mother suffered rib injuries, and the daughter hurt her ankle and leg, Ms. Maxwell said.
Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency personnel were on the scene and plan to follow up on the accident, officials said.
