Search-and-rescue officials say a Sea-Doo rider has been injured after slamming into a grey whale in a high-speed collision off a Vancouver beach, while the animal’s fate is unclear.
The collision that sent the vessel airborne was captured on video from multiple angles on Monday evening, prompting gasps and curses from those gathered at the shoreline to watch the whale that has been feeding in the area over the past week.
