RedactedNarrative: On 07-04-2022, at approx. 1428 hours, I was in the area of the no wake zone between Harrah''s and Community Park when I was flagged down and advised of a watercraft accident just south of the no wake zone, near sign post 8.  As I was approaching the boat that was reportedly involved the occupants were yelling that the jetski that hit them was leaving the area.  They pointed to two men on a jetski and said they were the ones that hit them.  I stopped the jetski and ordered them to the beach on the Nevada side of the river in the no wake zone.  I contacted the operator and passenger but neither spoke English.  I contacted Ofc. and requested that he respond to translate.  
  
  Ofc advised that Operator1 said he was travelling north at approx. 40 mph and attempted to go around the boat to the right as he approached them from behind.  Operator1 said a wave hit him and he went to the left instead and struck the back of the boat.  Operator1 said he was not leaving the scene of the accident and had given his information to the people on the boat then told them to follow him back to the beach.  
  
  The occupants of the boat did not see the initial impact and had only turned when the boat was struck.  The boat owner advised that the jetski went up the starboard side and across the back of the boat to the port side causing several points of damage.  There was a large area of fiberglass damage on the rear starboard side of the boat then scuffs in the paint on the port side.  There were also tears in the seats that were caused by the accident.  Damages to the boat were estimated at approx. $5000.  
  
  There were no reported injuries on the boat or jetski.
  
  I did not see any visible damage to the jetski other than scratches to the bottom of the hull.  Operator1 did not know how much the damage would cost.
  
  Operator1 was issued a citation for Failure to Use Due Caution to Avoid an Accident
  - 5-345.F (a petty offense).
  
  Nothing further.
