June 29, 2015 - After further investigation yesterday, Madera County Sheriff’s investigators have determined that the two juveniles, as well as the boy’s father, were riding on an inflatable tube behind their pontoon boat when they were struck by the jet ski. No caution flag was raised or required since the boat was underway at the time of the impact.
The 13 year old boy who was pronounced deceased at the scene of the accident has been identified as David Florez of Fresno. The 16 year old girl is the younger sister of the boy’s father (the boy’s aunt). She remains in critical condition at Community Regional Medical Center in Fresno.
The Sheriff’s Office is continuing the investigation into the details surrounding this incident. Based on the outcome of the investigation, the jet ski operator could face criminal charges related to this incident.
