Five people have been hospitalized following two personal watercraft crashes in New Jersey.
State troopers say the first crash happened in the bay near a bridge in Ocean City, New Jersey, around 1 p.m. Sunday when two personal watercrafts collided. Three people sustained injuries that weren’t considered life-threatening, and a fourth was airlifted to a hospital in stable condition.
The second crash occurred a short time later in Galloway Township, where a woman ran aground. Police say she was also airlifted to a hospital. It’s unclear what the woman’s condition is.
Troopers are investigating both incidents.
