RedactedNarrative: On 7/18/2020 at Approximately 1738 hours, Maricopa County Sheriffs office Deputies assigned to Lake Pleasant responded to the area of Honeymoon Cove at Lake Pleasant Regional Park for a report of a boat accident with injuries. Additional details provided to me by dispatch stated a personal watercraft (PWC) collided at full speed with a watercraft at full speed and the PWC operator was injured.
  
  At this time DEPUTY 1 and I boarded Lake Patrol Boat (LP) 39 and responded to the scene of the accident. Prior to arriving on scene, Peoria Fire arrived and had both occupants of the PWC onboard their watercraft. Fire personnel advised they were taking both subjects to the courtesy dock for evaluation at this time as the female subject had a head injury. I advised ground units to respond to the courtesy dock at this time to assist with the investigation.
  
  After fire personnel left DEPUTY 1 and I spoke with the occupants of the watercraft involved which was bearing AZ. The watercraft was a 25'' Chaparral which was being operated by the owner OPERATOR 2. OPERATOR 2 had 4 additional occupants onboard when the accident occurred. Also on scene was the PWC involved which was now on the shoreline. The PWC was bearing AZ registration. At this time, I advised OPERATOR 2 to meet me at the Pleasant Harbor 4 Lane Boat Ramp where he launched from.
  
  DEPUTY 1 and I pulled the PWC off of the shoreline and towed it back to the courtesy dock to be turned over to the registered owner. Once at the courtesy dock Deputy 2 photographed the damage.
  I returned to the Pleasant Harbor 4 Lane boat ramp and spoke with OPERATOR 2 and his party. OPERATOR 2 advised he was traveling back towards Pleasant Harbor on the east side of the lake (against the navigation pattern) when he saw the PWC coming out of honeymoon cove on full plane. OPERATOR 2 stated he thought the PWC was going to turn away from him but it did not. OPERATOR 2 stated he throttled down and turned to his starboard side to avoid the collision but was unable to. 
  
  OPERATOR 2 stated the PWC never made an attempt to turn away from his watercraft and struck the port bow side of his watercraft leaving paint transfer both on the side and under his watercraft. OPERATOR 2 stated when he looked back after the collision he saw two subjects in the water. The operator, who he identified as the female, and a male passenger. OPERATOR 2 stated the female kept telling him she was fine and just wanted to go back to her slip and to give her phone to her. OPERATOR 2 stated both occupants of the PWC did not want to remain on scene and wait for Law Enforcement.
  
  The area where the PWC was coming from is a No Wake Zone. Though OPERATOR 2 was going against the navigation pattern of the waterways the operator of the PWC still needed to yield to OPERATOR 2 as she was entering the main bay and travel portion of the lake from a cove. She was traveling within 60 feet of another watercraft and failed to make any evasive maneuvering colliding with another watercraft at an estimated 40MPH. Once the operator of the PWC was evaluated by fire personnel, Deputies 3 and 1 spoke with the operator of the PWC who was identified at this time as OPERATOR 1. OPERATOR 1 stated she was operating into the glare of the sun and did not see the watercraft until she collided with it. OPERATOR 1 stated she had no alcohol to drink at this time. After an OUI investigation it was determined OPERATOR 1 was under the influence of an intoxicating beverage. OPERATOR 1 was transported to Arrowhead hospital with non life threatening injuries. Please see Deputy 3 and Deputy 1’s supplemental reports for further.
