NORWALK, CT — Two men were pulled from cold waters near Chimon Island on Wednesday after their jet ski overturned and sank.

The Norwalk Police Department received a report of the incident at approximately 5:11 p.m.

Marine Unit officers responded to the area and located the two men in the water.

Both individuals were safely removed from the water and were exhibiting signs of early-stage hypothermia.

Officers immediately brought the men into the cabin of the police vessel to warm them while returning to shore.

The two men were transported to Veteran’s Memorial Park Marina, where Norwalk Paramedics were standing by to provide medical evaluation and treatment.

No serious injuries were reported.

A second Marine Unit vessel responded to the area of Chimon Island to recover the sunken jet ski.

Shortly thereafter, the Westport Police Department received a separate report of a disabled jet ski emitting smoke near Goose Island with one individual aboard.

Norwalk Marine Unit officers immediately responded to assist the Westport Police Marine Unit.

Upon arrival, officers confirmed the individual had already been safely brought aboard the Westport vessel.

The operator never entered the water.
