Multiple people were hurt in a crash on the South Thompson River in Kamloops on Saturday afternoon. A ski boat was moving slowly when the operator of a jet boat quickly approached it from behind, lost control and drove into the other vessel, he said in the release. A man and a woman were reportedly sitting on the lower back deck of the ski boat when the collision occurred. In an email, a spokesperson from the Provincial Health Services Authority said four ambulances and a supervising unit attended the scene of a boating incident on the river around that same time on Saturday. Emergency Health Services paramedics transported five people with varying degrees of injuries to hospital, the health authority said.
