Fulton County Sheriff warns to be careful following deadly jet ski accident
The Fulton County Sheriff's Office in Albany, N.Y., is emphasizing the importance of water safety in the wake of the tragic passing of 21-year-old Grace Clark in a jet ski accident on Great Sacandaga Lake. The incident occurred near the Broadalbin Boat Launch on June 23rd, where Clark collided with a pontoon boat while riding the jet ski. Sheriff Richard Giardino highlighted the significance of wearing a life vest, despite it not being sufficient to save Clark in this instance. As the Fourth of July weekend approaches and lakes become more crowded, law enforcement agencies from various counties will increase patrols to ensure public safety. It is crucial for boaters and jet skiers to adhere to speed regulations and prioritize proper education and awareness to prevent accidents, especially in busy areas. The dangers of alcohol consumption while on the water were also stressed, as it can impair one's ability to operate boats or jet skis safely. The loss of Grace Clark has deeply affected her community and serves as a somber reminder of the importance of staying vigilant and cautious while enjoying water activities.
