RedactedNarrative: At 10:53 p.m., Deputy responded to a report of a man (Operator #1) who was having back pain resulting from an accident earlier in the day involving two personal watercraft. As first responders were assessing the injured party, the deputy talked to other parties at the residence. No one had witnessed the incident but the deputy was informed that a female (Operator #2) was involved. The deputy spoke with Operator #2 and asked what happened. Operator #2 stated she was driving one of the personal watercraft while Operator #1 was driving another PWC and they were pulling up to shore directly behind the house. Operator #2 stated Operator #1 was sitting on his PWC about 30 feet from shore and she believed she hit the throttle on her PWC by mistake and bumped into PWC #1. She stated that she did not believe Operator #1 jumped off his PWC before it was hit by PWC #2, but was not sure because it all happened so fast. Operator #2 stated she had very little experience operating a PWC. She said the incident happened about 7:30 p.m.
  
  On 8/9/18, the deputy spoke with Operator #1. He stated he was sitting on his PWC (idling) when he saw PWC #2 coming toward him. He said that Operator #2 was not familiar with operating a PWC and did not know it had to stay running to control it so he felt it was his fault for not teaching her more about operating the PWC. Operator #1 stated that he went to jump off PWC #1 but did not jump far enough and his back hit the foot rest area of his PWC. He was not sure if PWC #2 bumped into his PWC at all because everything happened so fast.
  
  Life jackets were being worn at the time of the incident. There was no damage to either craft. It is unknown if alcohol was a factor because the incident was not reported right away.
