On March 24, 2013 at approximately 3:09 pm, I Game Warden received a call from Cameron County Park Police advising me of a boating accident that occurred at the South Padre Island jetties.  I arrived on scene at the Isla Blanca Park boat ramp and made contact with Officer.   
He advised me that one male was transported to the Valley Regional Hospital in Brownsville, Tx, and the other passenger was still on scene.  I made contact with the passenger and asked him what happened. 
Occupant advised me that his mechanic, Operator, was the operator of the personal watercraft.  He advised they left the boat ramp and went past the jetties into the Gulf of Mexico.  A large wave on their left side capsized the vessel.  Both occupants tried to recover the vessel, however, large waves continued to push the vessel away from their control.   
Occupant advised that large waves continued to push him and Operator into the rocks at the jetties.  Occupant and Operator climbed out of the water onto the jetties and went to the bait stand with the Isla Blanca Park to call EMS.   
EMS arrived on scene and transported Operator to the Valley Regional Hospital.  Operator received treatment for several lacerations to the head, arms and torso.   
The personal watercraft washed up ashore on the South side the South Padre Island Jetties.  Two fisherman observed the personal watercraft and loaded it into the back of a pick-up truck.  The two fisherman were detained at the Border Patrol Check-point on Hwy 4.  Game Warden  arrived at the Border Patrol Check-point and advised the two fisherman that the personal watercraft was involved in an accident.  The owner of the personal watercraft was notified that his personal watercraft was at the Border Patrol Check-point.  Occupant arrived and loaded the personal watercraft onto the trailer.   
Operator was released from the hospital with several stitches.t
