RedactedNarrative: On June 3, 2017, at approximately 4:00 P.M., I Sergeant was contacted by Lieutenant in reference to a two vessel crash that occurred on Vernon Lake, in Vernon Parish near the spillway. While en-route to the vessel crash I was contacted by cell phone by Trooper with the Louisiana State Police. Tpr.1 had arrived on scene and advised me that one of the operators had to be transported to Bayne-Jones Hospital located on Ft. Polk. Tpr.1 also advised me that both operators appeared to be under the influence of alcohol and both had admitted to consuming alcohol beverages prior to the crash occurring. Tpr.1 offered assistance by taking one of the operators to the Vernon Parish Sheriff’s Office and offering him the opportunity to provide a valid breath sample into the intoxilyzer 9000. 
  
  Tpr.1 transported Operator1. Once at the V.P.S.O. Operator1 provided a voluntary breath sample of 0.076 g% blood/alcohol content into the intoxilyzer 9000, which is above the legal limit for persons under the age of 21 (see attached supplemental report). The operator of vessel 2 was determined to be Operator2 who was transported to Bayne-Jones Hospital on Ft. Polk for injuries to his left leg that was sustained during the crash, by Acadian Ambulance. 
  
  	Agent and I arrived at Bayne-Jones Hospital and made contact with Operator2. Operator2 was read his MIRANDA warning from my MIRANDA warning card carried in the field. Operator2 was questioned on the causes of the crash. 
  
  Operator2 stated that he and his friend Operator1 had rented two personal watercraft, (P.W.C.) from Sak Pase Rental on this day. While operating them on Vernon Lake they both were making sharp complete circles within close proximity of one another, when he was struck by Operator1 without warning and thrown from the P.W.C. see attached voluntary statement form. Operator2 was then read his rights relating to the chemical test for intoxication form and asked if he would be willing to provide agents with a voluntary blood sample. Operator2 signed the voluntary release form from the blood kit and allowed Bayne-Jones medical staff to obtain the proper amount of blood from his right arm. Once the voluntary blood sample had been taken, medical staff labeled and properly sealed the blood kit and released the sealed kit to myself. Medical staff then took Operator2 back for x-rays and agents departed the hospital. 
  
  	Agent and I then arrived at V.P.S.O. to conduct an interview with Operator1. Once inside V.P.S.O. Operator1 was read his MIRANDA warning form my MIRANDA warning card carried in the field. Operator1 was questioned on the events that caused the vessel crash. Operator1 stated that he and his friends had rented P.W.C.s for the day and while operating them near the spillway on Vernon Lake he and Operator2 was making circles on the water when the two collided and could not remember anymore after that see attached statement form. Operator1 was then properly booked into V.P.S.O. for RS 14:98.6- Operate watercraft while intoxicated underage 1st offense, 14:99- reckless operation of watercraft, and 34:851.36- fail to comply with boating education requirements. 
  
  	After completing our interview with Operator1 we were contacted by Operator2 after he had been released by Bayne-Jones Hospital. We then met with Operator2 to learn of his injuries. Operator2’s left leg had determined by medical staff to only have sustained numerous amounts of small lacerations starting near his knee continuing to his foot. At this time Operator2 was issued citations for RS 14:99- reckless operation of a watercraft, and 34:851.36- fail to comply with boating educations requirements. 
  
  	It was determined that Operator2 and another subject had signed  rental agreements from Sak Pase Rental, LLC, for renting two P.W.C. see attached rental agreements. At the time of the crash, Subject had allowed Operator1 to operate the P.W.C. he had rented. Operator1 and Operator2 were near the spillway of Vernon Lake operating in circles too close for the speed and conditions to one another. 
  
  Operator2 was operating vessel 2 a 2016 Sea-Doo Spark LA- 9322-GE in aggressive hard circles turning towards the right. Operator1 was operating vessel 1 a 2017 Sea-Doo Spark 2 in aggressive hard circles turnings towards his left. As the two was doing so they failed to notice that the vessels had begun operating closer to one another. As V2 was coming through a turn V1 was also coming out of a turn putting V1 bow at V2 stern. 
  
  V1 struck V2 at the stern on the port side with its bow. As V1 struck V2, the bow was lifted as the stern of V2 was pushed downward. V1 traveled approximately 3 ft. along its starboard side before listing to its port side causing the starboard side towards the stern to contact the port side of V2 towards the bow. V1 suffered a severe gash in the hull at the bow and a severe gash at the stern on the starboard side of the hull, minor scuffs and scratches along starboard side. V2 suffered significant damage beginning at the stern on the port side and following the port side to the bow separating the hull from the body. V2 lost the remote steering as it was dislodged from the vessel during the impact. It was determined that both operators had failed to comply with the boating education requirements. It was found that both operators had properly worn a personal flotation device and to have their engine cutoff lanyard attached
