RedactedNarrative: On friday, july 22, 2016, at approximately 1320, operator1 was operating a rental pwc (nc 3370 dx) on the intracoastal waterway near yellow banks.  Operator1 had his son on the back of the pwc.  Operator1's wife, was operating another rental pwc (nc 2988 ds)  and was following along behind him.  According to both, operator1s and operator2, operator1s went to make  a sharp left hand turn to head back in the other direction.  
  
  Operator2, who was following behind, didn't realize quickly enough that operator1 had made the turn and as a result she impacted the port side near the stern of operator1's pwc.  Because the son was seated behind the operator, the impacting pwc hit his left leg which resulted in a broken tibia.  T
  
  here was also damage to the fiberglass and engine housing of the impacted pwc.  It does not appear that there was any alcohol or drugs involved in this incident.  
  
  Based upon the damage to the impacted pwc, it appears that operator2 was operating at a greater than no wake speed and apparently not maintaining a proper lookout, which resulted in her pwc colliding with operator1's pwc.   Based upon statements received, it appears that there was no grossly negligent or reckless operation involved.  Failing to maintain a proper lookout and operator inexperience coupled together resulted in the injury and damage to the pwc.  No charges were filed agains either operator.
