“It is estimated that Jacob Cotton was traveling up to 15 mph when he impacted the other craft,” police said.
Emma Cotton was transported by Stewart’s Ambulance to Huggin’s Hospital in Wolfeboro. All other parties refused medical treatment.
The crash remains under investigation. Wolfeboro Police and Fire departments assisted at the scene. |
I read the above article, and wondered if it was forever-lost to search engines for the lack of the
jet ski word. Sure enough, entering
jet ski found a second article. Did the jet-ski have one or two passengers?
Now that the accident has been cleared up regarding the number of passengers with this
new-news, this thread has
all the news.

More interesting (to me) was
NH1's file-folder photograph depicting a frenetic "Lake Winnipesaukee": it happens to be
our neck of the woods.
That's Copple Crown Mountain in the background.
