A tragic jet ski accident in Sydney’s south has left a 15-year-old boy dead and a 14-year-old boy seriously injured.
Emergency services were called to the Georges River near Tom Uglys Bridge in Sylvania shortly after 6pm on Tuesday. Police were told that a jet ski had likely crashed, throwing the two boys into the water.
NSW Police confirmed that the 15-year-old was found in the river but could not be revived despite efforts to save him.
The 14-year-old suffered a severe injury, with his arm being severed in the crash. NSW Ambulance paramedics treated him at the scene before taking him to Sydney Children’s Hospital, where he remains in a serious condition.
A crime scene has been set up, and police from the Sutherland Shire Police Area Command are investigating the incident. A report will be prepared for the coroner.
