A Canadian woman was killed after being struck by a Sea-Doo during a late night boat ride. The wrongful death is still under investigation by police, but they suspect alcohol may have been a factor in the boating accident.

The woman was standing on the back of the boat when the Sea-Doo came up from behind and hit her. The other passenger on the boat was also hit by the jet-ski, but was released from the hospital after only suffering minor injuries.

The operator of the Sea-Doo apparently lost control of the jet-ski and the personal watercraft went airborne when he fell off and hit the woman in the boat. Initially the man was believed to be lost at sea, but later turned himself into authorities.

The accident report says that the jet-ski came out of nowhere and she had little chance of avoiding it. The woman and her friend were in the ocean for a late-night boat ride; police are unsure what the man was doing on the jet-ski that night.
