Personal Watercraft Insurance, Boyfriend Faces Charges After Fatal PWC Collision With Partner
Collie was on a vacation with her boyfriend Mr Keating out enjoying the nice weather and decided to rent a pair of personal watercraft. The sun was shining bright and according to Keating’s representatives, the “strong sunlight reflecting from the sea made it impossible for him to see the jet ski being ridden by his girlfriend, Emily Jayne Collie.” While authorities do not believe that Keating caused the crash on purpose, he will be facing charges of reckless driving causing her death. His family has expressed their remorse because they had the opportunity to know Collie for the 18 months she had been dating Keating.
Many riders take riding their craft as second nature, but being inexperienced can prove to be fatal. According to Thai law, anyone using a jet ski is supposed to have a ‘captain’s permit’. Many tourists do not have a permit and many rental companies just write on the paperwork that they do.
Please be a defensive rider and understand that when riding in a populated area to not reach high speeds. Save that for open areas, because doing so could save someone’s life. We send our condolences out to the family and friends of Emily Collie.
