OPP said they were called to Lake St. Clair near Coutour Beach in the Municipality of Lakeshore, just east of Windsor, on Aug. 14 at around 2 p.m.
OPP told Global News that the personal watercraft — a Jet Ski — was towing a tube. The watercraft and tube struck the wall along the shoreline, often referred to as a break wall and it is a steel wall along the water side of the property.
