Brit woman killed in horror holiday jetski crash in tourist hotspot
A British woman has been killed in a jet ski accident while on holiday on the Costa del Sol. The 43-year-old is believed to have died instantly after being hit by a speedboat, which police sources said today was being driven by a friend who allegedly failed a breath test after the fatal crash. The incident happened around 7.25pm on Saturday at a beach called Los Toros just west of the popular holiday resort of Estepona. A spokesman for the Civil Guard in Malaga said: 'I can confirm the dead woman is a 43-year-old British national. She was a passenger on the jet ski.' A well-placed police source said: 'The jet ski was being driven by her partner. They appear to have been hit from behind by a friend at the wheel of a speedboat. He failed a breath test after the collision so he's likely to have been arrested but that is not something I can confirm at this stage.' The woman killed is believed to have been on holiday in the area. The nationality of her partner and of the 'friend' said to have been driving the speedboat is not yet known. A spokesman for a regional government-run emergency response coordination centre, speaking before police confirmed the nationality of the victim, said: 'A woman died late on Saturday in the town of Manilva in Malaga in a collision between a jet ski and a motorboat. 'The nautical accident occurred on Los Toros beach at around 19:25 hours, when several witnesses alerted the coordination centre of a collision between a jet ski and a speedboat. The Civil Guard went to the scene with coastguards who mobilised a boat called Gadir and emergency medical responders.' , , , , or visit homepage.
