A 39-year-old British tourist, whose name hasn’t been announced yet, was killed on Wednesday in a jet ski crash on the island of Santorini. The man had visited the Greek island to spent his honeymoon.
The British tourist along with a friend had rented two jet skis in the area of Kamari, where the accident occurred. Due to dangerous handling, the two jet skis crashed, causing the injury of the British man. At first, he thought that his wounds were superficial and after receiving first aid, he returned to his hotel.
Early next morning, his wife transferred him to the local clinic where doctors found that he was suffering from internal bleeding. The unfortunate man died as he was being airlifted to a hospital in Heraklion, Crete.
The owner of the water sports rental and the British tourist’s 29-year-old friend were arrested and will appear before a state prosecutor on the island of Naxos on Friday.
A Foreign Office spokesman said, “We are aware of the death of a British national in Greece on the 17th of September. We are providing consular assistance to his family at this sad time. We are aware of the arrest of a British national in Greece and are providing consular assistance.”
