A British woman has tragically lost her life in a jet ski accident on the Costa del Sol. The forty-three-year-old victim reportedly died instantly when a speedboat collided with the jet ski she was riding on Saturday evening at Los Toros beach, near the popular holiday resort of Estepona. Her partner was the one operating the jet ski at the time of the incident.

Authorities have revealed that the driver of the speedboat, who is believed to be a friend of the victim, failed a breath test following the collision. While he is likely to face arrest, officials have yet to confirm this information. The identity of the victim’s partner and the exact circumstances of the incident remain unclear as the investigation continues.

Emergency services responded swiftly to the scene after witnesses reported the collision. The Civil Guard, along with coastguards and emergency medical teams, arrived shortly after the incident to provide assistance. The local government’s emergency response coordination centre confirmed the incident, emphasising the ongoing investigation by police.

The British woman was reportedly on holiday in the area, and the UK’s Foreign Office has been contacted for further comment. The tragic accident has raised concerns about safety measures involving water sports in the region.
