7/22/95 - Plff, female age 36. Plff contended a jet ski hit her and kept going after she had fallen off another jet ski at Round Butte Reservoir. She could only identify a yellow jet ski ridden by a single male rider. Two independent witnesses later identified the make and model of the jet ski as a SeaDoo NX. Investigation revealed only 47 registered in Oregon out of 8,098 total jet skis. Witnesses also disagreed on colors of suspect jet ski and what the operator was wearing. There were inconsistent previous statements. |
