At approximately 1755 hours on Sunday June 3, 2012, a  PWC occupied by 2 female adults and a 5 year old female, was heading westbound at the north side of the Boulder Islands on  Lake Mead. The child was sitting in front of the adult operator, when the PWC struck a reef. The three occupants were ejected. The female operator was holding onto the female child when they hit the water. The chin of the female operator struck the back of the girl''s head resulting in a laceration on the adult''s chin and a small laceration on the back of the girl''s head. The other female adult was in weak condition due to a recent hospitalization. All three occupants were taken to the hospital by ambulance. All were treated and released.
The keel of the PWC was damaged in the accident. The estimate cost for repairs is $1,000.00
The operator later stated to me that she did not see the reef due to the choppy conditions and they were heading into the sun''s glare.
