Two Perry residents were killed Thursday evening
in a personal watercraft accident in Crawfordville.
Zoe Stoyer, 46, and Sarah Elise Pomeroy, 14,
were being towed on a raft behind a personal watercraft operated
by Susan Wells, 55, also of Perry, according to Florida Fish and
Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) officials.
Stoyer and Pomeroy were being pulled back toward
land when they hit a dock. Stoyer apparently also hit a cypress
tree next to the dock, FWC officials said.
The Wakulla County Sheriff’s Office notified FWC
of the accident, and emergency medical services personnel also
responded. EMS pronounced both victims dead at the scene. Stoyer
and Pomeroy were taken to the medical examiner’s office in
Tallahassee to determine the cause of death.
Both Stoyer and Pomeroy were wearing life
jackets.
FWC investigators are continuing the
investigation into the cause of the accident.
