RedactedNarrative: On 6/6/17, Deputy received a report regarding a watercraft accident that occurred on 6/4/17 at about 9:45 a.m. The reporting party (victim) was helping Operator #1 launch her personal watercraft from its trailer at the boat landing. Operator #1 was sitting on the PWC and the victim was standing on the front of the trailer in the area of the trailer hitch. The trailer was backed into the water and attached to the tow vehicle. As the PWC floated off the trailer, the operator started it's motor. The victim then stated that the PWC, operated by #1, drove toward him and the trailer he was standing on. He told operator not to hit him. He added that the operator appeared to be having trouble controlling the PWC, and she drove the PWC into him while he was standing on the trailer. 
  
  He sustained injuries and his brother, who was also at the landing, drove him to the hospital for medical care. The victim expressed concern about the operator not taking responsibility for the accident. He immediately confronted her, and she stated "don't tell me how to drive my jet ski." The deputy attempted to contact the PWC operator on 6/13/17. He left a voice mail message. She returned his call on 6/14 and said she didn't have time to talk to him about the incident until the following week. She called him again on 7/5/17 and stated she had been operating the PWC. She was unsure of operating the PWC with it's motor running close to the trailer. She said it was a slow speed accident. She said she had not been drinking. It is unknown whether she was wearing a life jacket at the time of the incident. There was no damage to the PWC.
