A 26-year-old woman who fell off her jet ski and was not found until the next day is listed in critical condition at a hospital in Covington. Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries spokesperson Adam Einck says the search began Friday night in the Tchefuncte River…
“They had to suspend the search around 2 a.m. Saturday morning because that storm rolled in and they weren’t able to start searching again until the next morning.”
Einck says the search resumed Saturday morning. He says at around 10:30 in the morning the woman’s jet ski was located and St. Tammany Parish deputies found her about a half-hour later…
“The only thing they could see was her head still sticking above the water, luckily she was wearing a life jacket and we believe that kept her alive.”
Einck says once the woman was discovered her, deputies quickly got her to a nearby boat launch…
“There was EMS standing by, they transported her to a local hospital and that’s where she’s listed in critical condition.”
