A Coquitlam woman, 24, died following a jet-ski accident on Osoyoos Lake Friday afternoon.
The B.C. Coroner’s Service identified her on Tuesday as Taylor Anne Jessop.
Osoyoos RCMP said the accident occurred around 5 p.m. The woman and a male friend were on the lake on separate rented personal watercraft when they collided with each other.
Efforts were made to revive the woman using cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and she was transported by ambulance to South Okanagan General Hospital in Oliver, where she was pronounced dead.
RCMP said the two only had Rental Boat Safety Checklists rather than Pleasure Craft Operator Cards because the watercraft were rented.
