One person was killed on Monday in a collision that occurred between two jet-skis near Palm Jumeirah in Dubai, while another sustained injuries, a police official announced.
Colonel Saeed Al Madhani, Director of the Ports Police Station in Dubai, said that the collision occurred as a result of negligence and lack of attention while riding the jet ski, which resulted in a death of a person and injury of another.
He called on jet-ski riders to adhere to marine safety instructions and to abide by safe speed limit while maintaining a sufficient distance between them and other marine means of transport. He also noted that anyone who causes injury or death of a person or damage to the property of others, the police would take legal action.
