RedactedNarrative: On 07/25/14 at 1216 hours, I was dispatched to the Pleasant Harbor Marina reference to a Boat Accident w/Injuries that occurred on the lake that involved two personal watercraft. The information that I received from the Maricopa County Sheriff''s Office dispatch was that the one of the operators of the PWC''s were at the Peoria Fire Department Station at the marina and had suffered a head injury from the collision. Subject responded to the marina to assist with the traffic as well.
      Upon our arrival at the Peoria Fire Department Station, I made contact with the occupant of Vessel #2, a male subject. Operator2 was being evaluated by the Peoria Fire Department personnel and had a bandage wrapped around his head covering his left eye. I asked Operator2 what happened. He told me the following.
      Operator2 said that while he was out on the lake onboard Vessel #2, his friend who was operating Vessel #1, approached him while he was on Vessel #2. While doing so, Operator1 made a sharp turn and collided with his Vessel. Operator2 said that after the collision, he did not remember what happened after that. 
      After Peoria Fire Department personnel were complete with their evaluations and after Operator2 refused all other medical treatment, I transported him down to the Spring Canyon Boat Ramp where we met up with Operator1 and Operator2''s other friends. I asked Operator1 what happened. Operator1 told me the following:
      Operator1 said that while he was operating Vessel #1, he was making sharp clockwise turns next to Vessel #2, trying to spray Operator2 with water. Operator1 said that he lost control of the throttle and handle bars and while he lost control, Vessel #1 struck Vessel #2 on the port side. Operator1 said that Operator2 was also struck by Vessel #1 after the collision, both he and Operator2 were thrown into the lake. I asked Operator1 if he was making sharp turns near Operator2 and if he was within 60 feet of Operator2''s PWC. Operator1 said yes. Per ARS 
  5-350.C making sharp turns within 60 feet of another PWC constitutes Reckless Operation.  
       After Operator1 described what had occurred earlier, I cited him in lieu of detention for the following ARS Title 5 violation:
                         * 5-350.C - Reckless Operation 
      After citing Operator1, I took digital photographs of the damage on both Vessels (see attached copy). I transposed the photo''s to a CD and transported it to the Anthem Substation Property and Evidence room where it will be stored for future reference. 
       Operator2 informed me that he is going to have his friend transport him to the hospital.
      There is nothing further at this time.
