A 70-year-old woman suffered a leg injury after she was ejected from the personal watercraft she was riding off Key West Thursday, according to the U.S. Coast Guard.
She was rescued from the water by a Coast Guard small boat crew, the agency said in a press release.
The Coast Guard was notified that she was in distress by another boater around 2:30 p.m.
