Boaters Rescue Woman in Lake St. Clair near Grosse Pointe Shores

A woman sustained non-life threatening injuries Sunday in Lake St. Clair following an accident with a jet ski, U.S. Coast Guard Lt. Justin Westmiller said.

The woman was struggling in the water off of Lake Shore Road near Clairview in Grosse Pointe Shores after a jet ski accident, he said. Other boaters rescued her before responding coast guard officers arrived, he said.

She was taken by ambulance to an area hospital for medical attention, Westmiller said. The exact kind of injuries she sustained was not clear Monday but Westmiller said they were not life-threatening. 

Public Safety officers from the Grosse Pointes took the woman to the hospital, Westmiller said. Since the Coast Guard did not assist in the rescue, Westmiller did not have information on the woman's identity, age or residence.

Patch is awaiting return phone calls from the Public Safety Directors of Grosse Pointe Shores and Farms regarding additional information about the rescue.
