A Florida father and his 13-year-old daughter were rescued from a lake on Saturday after their Jet Ski sank, forcing them to tread water for nearly an hour, authorities said.
Christopher Snow, 31, and his daughter Alexis went missing after going out on the Jet Ski from Baker Creek Park in Thonotosassa around 6:50 p.m., the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office said.
Snow’s girlfriend, Carolyn Joyce, went to the dock around 8 p.m. after being unable to get in touch over the phone with the pair.
Seeing that Snow and Alexis had yet to return, Joyce alerted Deputy Kevin Reich, who was on routine patrol at the dock.
A good Samaritan and his family took the deputy out onto Lake Thonotosassa on their boat to start the search while waiting for marine and aviation units to respond.
