A WOMAN suffered minor injuries when a jet ski came off its trailer and hit the car in which she was travelling.

The incident happened on Saturday afternoon at Route du Longfrie, near St Peter’s Arsenal.  It appears that the trailer carrying the jet ski broke away from the towing vehicle. The craft rode up the car’s bonnet and broke the windscreen before coming to rest on the pavement.

An ambulance crew was called at 1.57 and treated the 54-year-old local woman, a front seat passenger in her husband’s green Citroen Xsara.  After being treated on the pavement, she was transferred to the ambulance on a spinal board as a precautionary measure before being taken to hospital with minor injuries to her head, neck and a hand.

Police have appealed for witnesses to the accident.
