Boy charged with throwing rocks at jet ski riders

A boy has been charged following investigations into an incident where two jet ski riders allegedly had rocks thrown at their vessel from a bridge at Maroochydore.

At 3.15pm on November 13, two 17-year-old boys were travelling on a jet ski eastbound along Cornmeal Creek when a group of people allegedly threw large rocks at them from the Duporth Avenue Bridge.

The boys were forced to take evasive action and swerve, resulting in them colliding with one of the bridge pylons.

The pair was thrown from the jet ski into the creek. The driver was transported to Sunshine Coast University Hospital with a wrist injury.

The vessel suffered irreparable damage estimated to be worth around $8000.

A 15-year-old boy has been charged with endangering the safety of a person in a vehicle with intent, obstruct police and wilful damage by graffiti.

Investigations into the incident are ongoing.
