RedactedNarrative: On 06/14/2021 at approximately 1802 hours, I was dispatched to Pleasant Harbor along with Deputy regarding an accident involving two jet skis and one of the operators sustaining a serious leg injury. 
  
  Upon arrival, I met with Peoria Fire Department who stated a 14 year old boy was being flown to Phoenix Children''s Hospital by medical helicopter as life threatening. Peoria Fire informed us Operator2 had collided with his mother, Operator1, while out on their jet skis in the area of Jackass Cove. Operator2 had sustained a serious injury to his right femur, breaking the bone in multiple place as well as possibly damaging the artery. They had to apply a tourniquet as his leg was filling with blood. 
  
  Operator1 had been in the ambulance on scene and was undergoing an evaluation by fire personnel. Operator1 did not sustain any injuries. While waiting for fire to finish with Operator1, Subject arrived to the scene towing both jet skis involved. Subject is the husband of Operator1 and the father of Operator2. Subject was not able to give us a statement at this time as he was concerned for his wife and son.  As soon as fire personnel was completed with Operator1, her and Subject departed the scene to meet Operator2 at Phoenix Children''s Hospital. It should be noted, Subject had left his skis in the parking lot of Pleasant Harbor. Deputy and I were able to examine the skis for damage. We did not observe any fresh damage. Only damage observed was small scratches in the front and back of both skis. 
  
  I was able to contact Operator1 at 2000 hours, however, was unable to obtain a statement from her as she was with Operator2 who was being prepared for surgery. We agreed to speak later over the weekend when Operator2 was ok and they were less tense. 
  
  On 06/19/2021 at approximately 1130 hours, I was able to speak with Operator1 regarding the accident. She stated her and Operator2 were operating the jet ski''s within the area of Jackass Cove and had been going straight ahead when Operator2 had suddenly turned in front of her. Operator1 stated she had let off the throttle however, there was not enough space to slow without hitting Operator2. Subsequently Operator1 hit the right side of ski2 with the front of her ski. She stated it hit the center of the side where Operator2''s leg was and hit Operator2''s leg. 
  
  She observed immediate damage to Operator2''s leg and called 911 immediately. Peoria Fire Department arrived on scene with their boat and began medical treatment. They drove him to Pleasant Harbor where the helicopter was waiting. 
  
  She stated she was unsure as to why Operator2 made the sudden change in direction. She stated he must have thought he had the room to make the maneuver. however, they collided.
  
  Operator1 stated her and the victim both have more than 10 hours of experience on jet ski''s. They had both been wearing Coast Guard approved life jackets and Operator1 did not sustain any injuries from the accident. Neither Operator2 nor Operator1 have ever taken any safety boating classes. 
  
  This concluded my interview with Operator1.
