Girl died as novice drove jet-ski

A TEENAGE girl was killed when a jet-ski ridden by a novice hit a powerboat, an inquest heard yesterday.

Anthony Gee had never driven a wet bike before when he gave a lift to Faye Grundy, 17, from Benson, Oxfordshire, who died when their craft smashed into the motorboat on Queensford Lake, Berinsfield, in August last year. The coroner, Nicholas Gardiner, recorded a verdict of accidental death.
