Man fighting for life after two jet skis collide on Loch Lomond

A man is fighting for his life in hospital after two jet skis collided on Loch Lomond.

The collision happened at about 7.35pm on Saturday, and police rushed to the scene while the Loch Lomond rescue boat was dispatched.

Family and friends hauled the man on to the island of Inchmurrin with the assistance of Loch Lomond National Park staff.

He was airlifted to Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Glasgow, where police said his condition remains "serious but stable".

Loch Lomond is the most expansive body of water in the British Isles and Inchmurrin is the largest fresh water island.

A statement on the Loch Lomond rescue boat website said: "The crew were advised of a male in the water who had been involved in a collision near to Inchmurrin island, sustaining serious injuries.

"The crew launched immediately and proceeded to the scene.

"Arriving on scene, the male was found to be still in the water suffering various injuries and been assisted to stay afloat by two persons in the water and with the assistance of the park authority staff.

"The rescue boat crew then assisted in carefully removing the male from the water before taking over treatment and immobilising the patient.
