The Department of Fisheries and Oceans is investigating after a person driving a jet ski struck a grey whale off Vancouver.

Witnesses along Vancouver’s seawall saw the collision unfold in the water near Siwash Rock in Stanley Park around 7:30 p.m. PT on Monday.

"It was coming at great speed in between the sailboats and the shoreline again," Savage said. "The whale surfaced and the [jet ski] collided with the whale."

He watched and said the person was "thrown" from the jet ski and heard him calling for help.

Interesting they write "struck by jetski rider" to show the operator's responsibility...

But when its a car driver they say, "child struck by SUV"... implying the operator had no choice in the matter
