Video captures grey whale being struck by jet ski rider in Vancouver

The Department of Fisheries and Oceans is investigating after a person driving a jet ski struck a grey whale off Vancouver.

Witnesses along Vancouver’s seawall saw the collision unfold in the water near Siwash Rock in Stanley Park around 7:30 p.m. PT on Monday.

"It was coming at great speed in between the sailboats and the shoreline again," Savage said. "The whale surfaced and the [jet ski] collided with the whale."

He watched and said the person was "thrown" from the jet ski and heard him calling for help.
