The Department of Fisheries and Oceans is investigating after a person driving a jet ski struck a grey whale off Vancouver.
Witnesses along Vancouver’s seawall saw the collision unfold in the water near Siwash Rock in Stanley Park around 7:30 p.m. PT on Monday.
“It was coming at great speed in between the sailboats and the shoreline again,” Savage said. “The whale surfaced and the [jet ski] collided with the whale.”
He watched and said the person was “thrown” from the jet ski and heard him calling for help.
Hopefully they are charged. From the article:
“This guy had previously gone past on a personal watercraft, like he was going at a very high speed, and the whale had [surfaced] probably about five times in two minutes,” Connolly said.
Fuck that driver.
