A young girl has died after getting hit by a jet ski Saturday in Mission Bay.

The accident happened shortly before 2 p.m. in the area of De Anza Cove, according to San Diego police, when an 18-year-old man from Bellflower, California, riding a personal watercraft struck her.

First responders immediately brought the 12-year-old to shore, where CPR was begun, then she was taken to an area hospital.
