The 49-year-old rider, who was out with his family, was flown to Lee Memorial Hospital with a broken arm, bruises and scrapes, according to the district and the Lee County Sheriff’s Office. The incident took place east of Big Carlos Pass, Bonita fire Battalion Chief Brad Brown said. “I’ve never seen somebody this far. He was probably about 10 feet deep into the mangroves,” district official Jonathan Whitlock said. “So, he was probably going pretty fast.” Rescue vehicles from multiple agencies were on scene, and a helicopter could be seen flying above. A Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission crew went to the scene with chainsaws to try to free the Jet Ski after the rider was rescued, but it remained entangled Sunday night. No further information was immediately available.
