On 07/04/2013 at approximately 1:55PM I received a phone call from Cpt. stating that there has been a boating accident at Seneca boat ramp. At Approximately 2:30PM I arrived to the Seneca boat ramp. I made contact with the individuals that were involved with the accident. The operator of the personal watercraft IL1412JA (vessel 2) with one passenger stated there had been an accident between two personal water crafts involving three individuals, the personal watercraft IL506XP (vessel 1) operator was taken to the Morris hospital by Seneca EMS for treatment of a chest injury. 

Operator2 stated that both personal watercrafts were traveling west towards the Seneca boat ramp parallel to each other. Operator2 stated Operator1 wanted to splash them, Operator1 made a sharp turn north submerging the bow of the personal watercraft into the water whipping the stern of the personal watercraft directly in the line of Operator2''s personal watercraft. Operator2 stated that she could not avoid making contact with Operator1''s personal watercraft, resulting in Operator2''s personal watercraft colliding with the handle bars of Operator1''s personal watercraft. After striking the handle bars Operator2 stated the personal watercraft struck Operator1s chest, right arm, and then face. 

Cpt. reported to Morris hospital to interview Operator1. Operator1 was issued a citation for careless operation of a watercraft, and has a court date set for 08/13/13 at 9:00AM at the Criminal Justice Center in Ottawa.
