A family of four from San Jose was involved in a personal watercraft accident Labor Day morning.

Sufian and Subia Kazmi, who had no experience driving personal watercraft, took their children onto Lake Tahoe on Sept. 3. At about 9:45am they crashed into each other about one-quarter mile north and west of Timber Cove Beach, where the devices had been rented.

“After a period of about 30 minutes, the mother’s craft crossed in front of the father’s craft. Both were traveling at about 30 mph. The front of the father’s craft struck the mother’s craft broadside,” according a South Lake Tahoe police press release.

Sufain Kazmi was not hurt. The 5-year-old boy was transported to Barton Memorial Hospital with his mother. Both sustained moderate head and leg injuries. The 7-year-old girl sustained severe injuries to her leg and foot. She was flown to Renown Medical Center. None of the injuries was life threatening.
