RedactedNarrative: INITIAL CONTACT: I was contacted by Box Elder County Dispatch and informed of a traumatic injury involving 2 Personal Watercraft (PWC) on Willard Bay. I was also informed that an injured 50 year old male was being transported by boat to the North Marina boat ramp. I responded to the ramp where I found the injured individual being treated by Ranger. As I arrived I assisted Ranger until we were joined by Willard P.D. Officer who began assisting with medical treatment while I gathered accident information. We were joined shortly thereafter by personnel from Willard Fire Department and Brigham City Ambulance who took over treatment of the injured individual.
  
  INTERVIEW WITH OPERATOR2: I met with the other person involved in the accident, Operator2. I interviewed Operator concerning the accident and crash. Operator2 said that he and his father were operating PWCs headed South on Willard Bay at approximately 32 mph, and about 20 ' apart when his father made a U-turn to the Right. Operator2 was unable to stop or avoid hitting his father's PWC.
  
  CRASH: From witness statements and vessel damage it appears that Operator1 was operating Vessel #1 followed by Operator2 on Vessel #2. Both vessels were traveling in a Southerly direction on the South end of Willard Bay (Watkins Reservoir) at approximately 32 mph. Vessel #2 was approximately 20' behind and slightly right of Vessel #1. Vessel #1 made an abrupt right turn into the path of Vessel #2. Vessel #2 was unable to stop or avoid hitting Vessel #1. The rear Port side stabilizer fin of Vessel # 2 hit Vessel #1 on the rear Starboard side just above the rub rail, making an approximate 18" cut in the fiberglass of Vessel #1. The impact caused both operators to be thrown off of their PWCs.
  
  A nearby vessel, UT5232SD heard the crash and responded to the area to assist. The occupants of UT5232SD were able to get Operator1, who was injured, aboard their vessel. Operator2 was able to re-board his PWC. UT5232SD then followed Operator2 to Eagle Beach where they met with Operator2's brother. The occupants of UT5232SD talked with Operator2 and his brother, who decided to call for an ambulance. Operator1 was then transported to the North Marina boat ramp.
