At 1600 hours, Marina called me to tell me of a PWC accident at Performance Rental with injuries.

When I arrived, I found Operator1 and other family members by the PWCs and the owner of Performance Rental was also there doing damage assessments.  Operator1 told me his sister in law, Operator2, who was the other operator went to the hospital with a cut to her forehead.

I gathered all the information I could from the family members and owner.  I took Pictures of the two PWC's and gathered boat information.

From what Operator1 wrote as the description of the accident, I cited Operator1 for Failure to maintain safe speed and distance.

this is what Operator1 wrote in the Accident Description:

"All about 25 ft apart we were doing donuts.  Waves blocked my vision and I came at my sis in law and she started at me and I went up her Seadoo before I could turn".
