A young person died when two personal watercraft collided on Lake Minnetonka's Upper East Lake Wednesday evening.

Deputies with the Hennepin County Sheriff's Water Patrol responded to a call about the crash around 5:45 p.m. and found one person unresponsive, according to a news release.

Fellow boaters had already pulled the juvenile from the water and started CPR when the deputies arrived.

Authorities transported the juvenile a short distance back to Water Patrol headquarters in Spring Park, where an ambulance was waiting.

The other person involved in the crash was not injured, spokesman Andy Skoogman said.

The Hennepin County Medical Examiner will identify the juvenile and release more information in the coming days.
