ON 6/18/11 AT APPROX 1602HRS I RESPONDED TO PALO VERDE BOAT RAMP IN REFERENCE TO A JET SKI COLLISION THAT OCCURRED IN THE MAIN BAY AT CANYON LAKE. THE COMPLAINTENT INDICATED THAT ONE OPERATOR HAD A BACK INJURY. AIR EVAC RESPONDED TO THE AIDS STATION TO TRANSPORT THE INJURED MALE SUBJECT TO SCOTTSDALE OSBORNE HOSPITAL. THE REGISTERED OWNER OF BOTH PWCS REPORTED NO DAMAGE TO EITHER PWC. THE VICTIM WAS STABILIZED AND TRANSPORTED TO THE AID STATION FOR TRANSPORT. MY INVESTIGATION REVEALED THAT THE OPERATOR OF V1 HAD JUST MADE A TURN IN JET SKI COVE WHEN HE COLLIDED INTO THE SIDE OF V2. THE KEEL OF V1 APPARENTLY STRUCK THE OPERATOR OF V2 ON THE BACK. THE VICTIM WAS COMPLAINING OF BACK PAIN AT THE BOAT RAMP. AIR EVAC TRANSPORTED VICTIM TO HOSPITAL FOR FURTHER MEDICAL TREATMENT.
