RedactedNarrative: On June 25, 2016 at 10:45pm I was participating in a boat safety checkpoint at Leesylvania State Park boat ramp, Prince William County, when I observed a personal watercraft, or PWC, (VA2022BY) travel up to the water's edge at the south boat ramp.  The PWC was being operated by Operator2 and the passenger was (Victim #2).  Operator2 was soaking wet and appeared distressed.  He immediately asked for assistance, saying that his friend needed help, and that he had crashed the PWC on a wall near the boat ramp.  
  
  He pointed to the end of the dock, where Operator1 (Operator #1, Victim #1) was sitting and shuddering in a pool of blood, soaking wet and unable to move.  I rendered assistance to Operator1 and called for help.  
  
  Operator2 got off the PWC he was operating and ran to where Operator1 and I were at the end of the dock.  
  
  I smelled the odor of alcoholic beverage.  I asked Operator1 if he had any alcohol to drink and he replied that they were returning from Tim's Rivershore and that he had one beer to drink. 
  
  I also asked Operator2 if he had had any alcohol, and he said no.   I then asked Operator2 who had been driving the other PWC, and he stated that Operator1 was the operator of the other PWC (VA2023BY) and the owner of both PWCs.  Operator1 confirmed that he had been operating VA2023BY at the time of the accident.
  
  At approximately 11:20pm Prince William Fire and Rescue transported Operator1 to Sentara Hospital.  V1 passenger had a bruise under his left eye and bruising and abrasions up his left arm, but he refused treatment and remained on scene.   
  
  I then interviewed V1 passenger about the accident, but he seemed incoherent and confused.  He asked what had happened, was anyone hurt, and did anyone break the law numerous times over and over.  He insisted that he was not operating either PWC and had never operated a PWC before in his life.  He had no recollection of the accident or events leading up to the accident.  His clothing was dry, and at one point he removed a cell phone from his pocket and it, too, was dry.
  
  I then interviewed Operator2, who seemed very clear-headed and had no apparent injuries.  Operator2 stated that they had all arrived at Leesylvania State Park in separate cars at around 5:30pm, and went to Tim's Rivershore for food.  They realized that it was getting dark and decided to head back to the boat ramp, when the fireworks started (note: the fireworks had started at 9:30pm).  They decided to stop their progress to watch the fireworks.  After the fireworks had concluded, they decided to continue their return trip to Leesylvania State Park.  
  
  Operator2 stated that Operator1 was driving in front when he heard a tremendous crash, and he saw that Operator1, with V1 passenger as a passenger, had collided with the rock jetty.  He says that he was able to pick up Operator1 and transport him to the dock, while V1 passenger waited at the scene of the crash sitting on the other PWC.  Operator2 then walked along the breakwater, back to the rock jetty, and started up the other PWC and returned to the boat ramp with V1 passenger. He denied that they had been drinking.
  
  Blood was drawn from Operator1 at 1:40am and he was placed under arrest for 29.1-738 (B) Operating a Motorboat Under the Influence.  Operator1 was released on a summons due to his incapacitated condition.
  
  Boat Accident Reconstruction Officer evaluated the condition of both PWCs at the boat ramp along with a detailed analysis of transfer markings on the rock jetty and concluded that both PWCs had struck the rock jetty at such a high rate of speed that they completely launched over the jetty, a distance of 15 feet and a height of five feet, and landed on the other side.
