1 dead, 1 injured after boat collides with jet ski
BREMERTON, Wash. (AP) - A woman was killed and her husband was injured Sunday when the personal watercraft they were riding on collided with a boat near Brownsville, a community on Puget Sound north of Bremerton.

The 47-year-old injured man was flown to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle. His 42-year-old wife was killed.

Their identities were not immediately available. A nursing supervisor at Harborview tells the Kitsap Sun newspaper that the man was in critical condition Sunday night.

Kitsap County sheriff's spokesman Scott Wilson says rescuers were called to the Brownsville marina after 911 dispatchers received reports at about 5:30 p.m. of the collision between a Sea Ray boat and the personal watercraft in Port Orchard Bay - the channel between the Kitsap Peninsula and Bainbridge Island.

Central Kitsap Fire and Rescue Battalion Chief Joseph Repar says the dead woman and the injured man lived near the marina, and had gotten married recently.
