Green Lake, WI (July 15, 2026) – The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources is investigating the cause of a personal watercraft collision with injuries near the 390 block of South Lawson Drive on Green Lake.
The collision reportedly happened on Monday afternoon, July 13, shortly after 2:20 p.m. near a shoreline property. According to authorities, five juveniles were involved in the incident. A 9-year-old girl was found unconscious in the water and was flown to a hospital for treatment.
A 13-year-old boy was also hurt, while the other three juveniles were not injured. Contractors working on a nearby boat pulled the girl from the water and helped bring the remaining juveniles to safety before emergency units arrived. We are keeping the injured in our thoughts.
What Happens After a Personal Watercraft Crash on a Lake?
A personal watercraft crash can prompt a review of several factors, including how the watercraft was operated, water conditions, visibility, and the location where the incident occurred. Physical evidence, witness statements, and damage to the watercraft may also help explain how the collision happened.
Water-related crashes can become more serious when riders are thrown into the water or lose consciousness after impact. Wearing properly fitted life jackets, remaining aware of nearby watercraft, and following navigation rules can help reduce the risk of serious injuries during recreational boating activities.
