On 9-6-10 at approximately 4:30 pm, I received a phone call from a local news reporter attempting to find out details about a PWC accident that occurred on Lake LBJ.  I informed the news reporter that I had not been notified of an accident on Lake LBJ and began attempting to find out more information.  I made contact with Horseshoe Bay Police Department and spoke with Officer who stated he was dispatched to the Horseshoe Bay Marina around 12:30pm when the accident victims were brought to the shore.  He stated it was a PWC vs PWC accident and the PWC's were both rented from the Horseshoe Bay Marina.  I asked him if there were any witnesses to the accident and he stated he did not know.  I asked him if anyone obtained the names of the people who brought the accident victims to shore and he was not aware.  I asked him if his department generated a report of any kind and he stated no.  Officer stated one of the subjects was transported to Brakenridge Hospital in Austin.  I drove to the Horseshoe Bay Marina to attempt to make contact about the accident, however, it was closed when I arrived.

     On 9-7-10 I returned to the marina and made contact with the Marina Manager, who stated on 9-6-10 at approximately 11:30 am, two people (father and daughter) rented two PWC's from his livery business.  He showed me a copy of the rental agreement and made me xerox copy.  Manager stated at approximately 12:30 pm a boat arrived at the marina carrying Operator2 and they informed him Operator2 and his daughter were involved in a collision with the rented PWC's.  Manager stated an ambulance was called and Operator2 was transported to Brakenridge Hospital in Austin.     I asked Manager if anyone obtained the name of the individuals in the boat that brought Operator2 back to the marina and he stated, "no."   I asked Manager what kind of instruction they give before renting PWC's and he showed me a list of items they go over with each rented vessel.  I asked him if they discuss the 50 foot rule and he stated they go over it with each customer.    I asked Manager if he knew anything about the collision and he stated he heard they were up the lake near the FM 1431 bridge and Operator1 was driving behind operator2.  He stated operator2 had stopped and operator1 struck him from behind.  

     On 9-20-10 I was finally able to meet with Operator1.  Operator1 stated on 9-6-10 at approximately 11:30 am, they rented three PWC's for her dad, mom and herself.  She stated the lake had a lot of boat traffic and was rough from the boat wakes.  She stated they were planning on going up the Colorado River arm from the FM 1431 bridge.  She stated she was not that familiar with the lake and thought they were about halfway there when the accident occurred.  I asked her if she could remember any landmarks near the accident and she said, "no."  I asked her if they were near the shore and she said she thought they were in the middle of the lake heading towards Kingsland.  I showed her a map of the lake and she thought they were somewhere near Granite Shoals and Lookout Mountain.   I asked her if she remembers what happened and she said her dad was in the lead and she was following directly behind him.  She stated a boat had come between her and her dad and cut her off.  I asked her what kind of boat it was and she did not know.  I asked her what color it was or the TX number's and she did not know.  I asked her if the unknown boat was traveling from side to side or directly at her and she said, directly at her.  I asked her if the unknown boat cut between her and her dad and she said, no.  She then stated after the unknown boat had passed by, she didn't realize her dad had stopped and she struck him in the rear of the PWC.    I asked her how fast she thought she was going and she
