Overview

• The crash occurred just after 3:30 p.m. Tuesday when the sisters’ jet ski struck a concrete dock on the Intracoastal Waterway near Northeast 24th Court.
• Fourteen-year-old Rachel Aliza Nisanov later died of her injuries at Broward Health Medical Center.
• Her 16-year-old sister, Aviva Bracha Nisanov, underwent surgery and remains in critical but stable condition.
• Officials say the girls were part of a three–jet ski guided tour and that their watercraft jumped a wake before veering into the dock.
