RedactedNarrative: On 5-21-11 My partner received a call from the Guadalupe County S/O concerning a boating accident on Lake McQueeney. Guadalupe County Sheriff's officer obtained all information from boat operators and information on the two vessels involved. Officer forwarded all the information to me.  Vessel 1 was drifting, and not under way on Lake McQueeney.  His friend was operating Vessel 2 and heading toward Vessel 1.  Operator2 stated to me over the telephone and in his written statement that he was close to Operator1, tried to miss hitting him, but did so anyhow.  Vessel 2 struck Vessel 1 on the port side, and ejecting Operator1 into the water.  Operator1 suffered severe fractures to his left femur and taken by ambulance to be airlifted to a San Antonio hospital.  Operator2 also stated to the deputy and myself that the throttle stuck and that is why the accident occurred.  After the collision Operator2s PWC whose throttle was supposedly stuck was operated back to the shore where he launched it.  Deputy also inspected the throttle and found that it was not stuck at that time.  My investigation has concluded that Operator2 was operating too close to Operator1, and was negligent in is operation which caused the accident and injuries. A citation was issued to Operator2 for Reckless or Negligent Operation PWC 31.094 Class C Misdemeanor.
