A businessman who witnessed the tragic jet ski incident at Pigeon Point Heritage Park in Tobago last Wednesday says he was disappointed the paid facility was not adequately prepared to deal with the medical emergency.

Terrence Ramkellawan, owner of a security and consultancy company, said he had travelled to Tobago for the Easter weekend and was with his family at the beach when an out-of-control jet ski crossed the barrier and crashed into seven-year-old Angelica Saydee Jogie and her family.

The severely injured child was immediately pulled from the water by lifeguards, he said. The situation however quickly escalated to confusion, as responders were not equipped to handle the tragedy, he said.
