Harlem River, NY – One person was killed in a jet ski accident that took place in the Harlem River near 203rd Street and Ninth Avenue at approximately 8:00 in the evening of August 22. According to an eyewitness, two men on jet skis crashed into each other while trying to do ‘tricks’. Paramedics soon discovered the victim unconscious at the scene, while the other patient suffered minor injuries.
