RedactedNarrative: ON 8/3/09 AT ABOUT 1550HRS I WAS DISPATCHED TO SAGUARO LAKE BOAT RAMP 2 IN REFERENCE TO A BPATING ACCIDENT WITHOUT INJURIES. UPON ARRIVAL I CONTACTED THE OPERATORS INVOLVED.V1 TOLD ME TOWING A BOAT THAT HAD BROKEN DOWN. HE CAME UP ON THE EASTSIDE OF THE DOCK AND SHUT OFF THE MOTOR. HE THEN NOTICED V2 COMING TOWARDS HIM. HE COULD SEE THE 2 VESELLS WERE GOING TO COLLIDE SO HE JUMPED OUT ON THE BOW TO TRY AND KEEP THE BOATS APART. V2 TURNED LEFT AWAY FROM THE DOCK AND ACCELERATED CAUSING THE BACK END TO SWING INTO THE BOW OF HIS BOAT. HE WAS THROWN INTO THE WATER WHEN THE VESSELS COLLIDED BUT HE WAS UNINJURED. V1 HAD BOW RAIL DAMAGED AND MOLDING ON THE REAR PORT SIDE WAS BENT AND PULLED OFF WHEN THE BOAT HIT THE DOCK. V2 OPERATOR STATED SAID SHE PULLED UP TO THE EASTSIDE OF THE DOCK TO PICK UP HER HUSBAND. HE GOT ON AND SHE SAW V1 COMING AT HER HEAD ON. SHE SAID V1 OPERATOR WAS LOOKING BACK AT THE BOAT HE WAS TOWING. THEY YELLED AT V1 TO WARN THEM BUT COULD NOT BE HEARD OVER THE NOISE OF THE MOTOR. SHE TURNED LEFT AWAY FROM THE DOCK AND THEN GAVE HER BOAT THROTTLE TO GET OUT OF THE WAY, BUT THE REAR STARBOARD SIDE OF HER BOAT STRUCK BY THE BOW OF V1. V2 HAD A 4 INCH HOLE IN THE REAR STARBAORD SIDE. A WITNESS SAID THAT V1 WAS NOT PAYING ATTENTION AND THIS CAUSED THE ACCIDENT. BOTH OPERATORS WERE GIVEN WARNINGS ABOUT POSSIBLE VIOLATIONS. NOTHING FURTHER.
