Deputies Identify Man Killed in Boca Jet Ski Accident

Posted: Updated:

We have new information on a story we first brought you Monday night about a deadly jet ski accident at Boca Reservoir.

The Nevada County Sheriff's Office has now identified the victim as 41-year-old Brett Jaffe.

Deputies say Jaffe died after the jet ski he was riding crashed into another one Sunday afternoon.

Deputies say the crash happened in a ski slalom area -- not intended for jet skis.

Deputies are still waiting for toxicology results to see if alcohol played a role in the crash.
