A man in his 50s dies after a jet ski collision involving an inflatable raft carrying his two children near Calshot, close to the New Forest National Park, on Sunday. Multiple outlets report that the incident occurs at about 6pm, when a jet ski strikes the inflatable. Coastguards respond after reports the man is struggling in the water. The father is brought to shore, where he collapses soon after the collision. He is then taken for urgent medical treatment and later dies in hospital on Monday.
Reports also state that the jet-ski rider and the two children are not seriously harmed in the immediate aftermath and are safely brought ashore. At least one outlet describes the father’s death as following a medical emergency after the incident. Police and coastguard services are involved in the response, while further details about the circumstances and any investigation are pending in the coverage reviewed.
