PINE GROVE TOWNSHIP, Mich. (NEWSCHANNEL 3) - A jet ski crash in Van Buren County has sent a 15-year-old boy to the hospital.

It happened Wednesday afternoon on North Lake in Pine Grove Township.

Deputies say a teenager from Nashville, Tennessee wasn't paying attention while riding a jet ski and slammed into another jet ski, going up and over the top of it.

The 15-year-old driver of that second jet ski suffered head injuries and was rushed to the hospital. He is also from Nashville.

Deputies ticketed the teen who caused the crash for careless operation.

Jet skis are the bane of our rivers lakes. Riders typically ignore safety rules riding recklessly fast and close to other boats, the shore, and people swimming. They endanger the lives of riders and others in and on the water. They destroy fish beds and habitat when riders inadvertently take them too close to shore and over weed beds. If it were up to me, they would be banned altogether. I hate the noisy sons a bitches.

monkeybread, not the responsible ones. Like everything else, it requires consideration, and 360 degrees of attention, at all times. I've ridden them enough to know.
