Authorities say three women riding on a personal watercraft were killed when they crashed into a motorboat at a Southern California reservoir.
Los Angeles County fire Inspector Matt Levesque (luh-VECK') said the Saturday collision at Puddingstone Lake also left three men from the boat with serious injuries and a woman with minor injuries. They are all expected to survive.
Authorities say the women, ages 25, 35, and 60, were all riding on the same Sea-Doo watercraft when they crashed. Paramedics declared all three dead at the scene.
