On 6/24/12 at approx 1709hrs i responded to a boating accident at bartlett lake marina. Dispatch advised the complaintant stated he was hit by a pwc and is now at the marina. Upon arrival i spoke to  the complaintant and oeprator of one of the watercraft. I asked what had happened and Operator2 told me the following: he told me he was headed back to the marina from the bartlett flats at approx 45mph on the right side of the lake. He advised he saw a pwc heading toward him at a 45 degree angle over his left shoulder. He said when the pwc got close enough the other operator turned sharply to the left swinging the back end of the watercraft upward out of the water toward him hitting his watercraft and ejecting him from the vessel. Operator2 was not sure what the subject operating the other watercraft looked like but believed he/she was wearing a orange pfd and the watercraft was mostly yellow in color and had a design or logo on the side. Operator2 told me the watercraft was a rental from the bartlett lake marina pwc rentals. A search of the lake and marina area was conducted by other deputies with no results for the other watercraft in the incident. Subject from bartlett lake marina told me he believed the watercraft was unrepairable and would cost approx $9000 to replace. Nothing further at this time.
