Sanchez, a longtime friend of Sean's, told TMZ she was riding on a jet ski with Sean and her friend was riding on another jet ski with his buddy.
"Both jet skis pulled out of the dock at the same time and we were going so fast we just blasted past them," Sanchez explained. "When we turned a corner and crashed... they were so far behind us they didn't even see us crash."
She also claims she tried to get Sean to stop before the crash screaming, "We can't fit under there! Are we going to try and go under there? Sean stop!"
And according to Sanchez, Sean lost control of the jet ski because they were going "really fast."

"Sean was coughing up blood, foam and pink stuff," Sanchez recalled and when he opened his eyes Sean reportedly said, "I'm hurting. I'm hurting."
Sanchez says she's okay overall now, but her ribs and jaw are sore.
She said Sean is expected to stay in the hospital for "a couple more weeks" and "They have a tube down his throat so he can't really talk, but he is lucid and understands what's going on."
