Angola, Indiana – After being thrown from an exploding jet ski on a lake in northeast Indiana on Monday, three people avoided injury.
According to the Indiana Department of Natural Resources, after a personal watercraft exploded with three people on board at around 4:30 p.m. Monday, conservation officers were called to Jimmerson Lake, located in Steuben County.
According to DNR, the personal watercraft, a 2003 Bombardier Sea-Doo, had just been launched into the water from the dock.
