RedactedNarrative: This is from the only witness operator of vessel #2.  
  
  Operator2 stated that Operator1 slowed down and he came up next to her and a wave pushed his PWC up and it came down on top of her left leg.  Operator2 stated he was almost stopped when the accident happened.  The wave that pushed him up was from a ski boat on the reservoir that was passing them.
  Operator2 was telling a friend what happened and he stated he wasn't going very fast compared to how he usually drives the PWC.
  
  By the time I was notified of the accident and got back from Ashley Region Medical Center the ski boat was gone from the park.
  
  I did notice damage to the gel coat on the left side mid area of the struck PWC.  Operator2 claimed that wasn't from the accident but to me it looked like it may have been.  The front bumper on the front left was also sticking up like it may have just happened.    I didn't see any damage to the other PWC that Operator2 was driving.
  
  Operator1 was transported to Ashley Regional Medical Center by private vehicle.  She suffer a fractured left femur that required surgery.
  
  I talked with the manager at the ToyitUp (rental) dealer.  He stated that there was at least $2200.00 in damages to the PWC that was hit vessel #1.  The damaged areas included the left side of the mid section, rubber guardfront left side and impact near the handlebars.  The impacting vessel #2 would have had to be traveling at least 15mph if not higher when it impacted vessel #1.  The damages are also consistent with an injury as severe as a broken femur.
  
  The driver of vessel 1 may have slowed down and the driver of vessel 2 was unable to avoid hitting vessel 1 due to speed and proximity.
  
    I had cited Operator2 the day before the accident for no PFD on a PWC at 1600 hrs.  I had  also warned him of the state boating law of speed and proximity, which is 150 feet from another boat,PWC, dock or people.  I  took the time to explain that most accidents that occur on PWC's are with the same party.   Operator2 stated he understood and that would be no problem to stay 150 feet away from other boats.  I am working with the county attorney to possibility cite him for speed and proxmity or reckless boating.
