NOTIFICATION
At approximately 1218 Dispatch notified Ranger that the victim of a personal watercraft accident was being transported to a sandy beach.  I told Dispatch that I would respond toward Sailboat Beach, and asked that Ranger respond toward the Island Beach.  Dispatch then notified us that they were headed to the Main boat ramp.  Medical had been paged and an ambulance was on its way.

ARRIVAL
I arrived at the Main boat ramp at 1221, grabbed first aid equipment from my vehicle, and went out on to the boat dock.  The boat transporting the victim was just pulling into the dock by the Main boat ramp.

VICTIM
The victim was laying face up on the engine cover/platform on the back of the boat.  I boarded the boat, and was joined by Ranger2.  We assessed the victim's condition.  The victim had no pulse and was not breathing.  We began CPR on the victim at 1224, and continued  until we were relieved by Wasatch County Ambulance personnel.

EMS & HOSPITAL
Wasatch County Ambulance arrived at approximately 1229 and EMS personnel from the ambulance took over care of the victim.  I assisted the ambulance crew with various tasks, and helped push the gurney from the dock to the ambulance.  The victim was transported to Utah Valley Medical Center in Provo, where he was later declared dead.

PERSONAL WATER CRAFT
I examined and photographed both vessels involved in the accident.  Refer to Crime Report 2010-000589 for photographs.

Vessel number 1, the starboard side had damage about mid-vessel, both above and below the chine.  The starboard side of the operator seat was torn in several spots.  The rear seat cushion had been torn loose from its frame.  The handle on the port side had a piece broken off near the stop switch.

Vessel number 2, the front of the hull had numerous scratches on it.

According to witness statements the vessels were traveling in the same direction, vessel number 1 made a right turn and stopped, and vessel number 2 hit vessel number 1 on the starboard side (near center).  Vessel number 2 traveled over the top of vessel number 1, knocking the operator (of vessel 1) into the water.  Damage to the vessels is consistent with witness reports of the accident.

WITNESS STATEMENTS
Witness statements, and vessel owner's information were gathered by Ranger, and are included in his supplemental reports.

OTHER VESSEL OPERATOR
The operator of the other personal water craft was interviewed by Ranger2, and  the information is included in her supplemental reports.
