Appeal for witnesses to rock throwing, Maroochydore

Two jet ski riders have narrowly escaped serious injury after rocks were thrown at their vessel from a bridge at Maroochydore yesterday.

Police are appealing for witnesses to the incident at approximately 3.15pm on November 13 where two 17-year-old boys were travelling on a jet ski eastbound along Cornmeal Creek when a group of people 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 were both 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.
