RedactedNarrative: On June 25th, 2021, at approximately 1313hrs, I, Game Warden 1, was on patrol aboard my patrol vessel in Las Vegas Bay heading into Government Wash.  I observed a yellow personal watercraft (PWC) being operated by a male, later identified as V2 Operator.  As I approached, V2 Operator flagged me down and fell into the water.  I pulled up alongside and V2 Operator informed me that he was just involved in a vessel collision with a family friend, later identified as V1 Operator. 
  
  V2 Operator informed me that V1 Operator was across the cove on shore and V1 Operator's PWC was taking on water and sinking.  V2 Operator further stated that there were no injuries. V2 Operator's PWC was also taking on water and was inoperable.   I requested assistance and Game Warden 2 arrived shortly after and assisted V2 Operator to shore. I drove across the cove and contacted V1 Operator.  V1 Operator informed me he had minor injuries (not beyond first aid) to his shin and toenail.  The PWC with V1 Operator was pulled up on shore and tied off with a line.  V1 Operator boarded my vessel and I transported him across to V2 Operator's location.  Both V2 Operator and V1 Operator provided statements and Game Warden 2 and myself photographed the PWC's.  I asked V1 Operator how the collision occurred.  
  
  V1 Operator stated it happened so fast it was hard for him to recall.  V1 Operator stated he was driving V1 and estimated his speed at approximately 30mph.  He believed V2 Operator turned in front of him before striking V2.  He tried to avoid hitting V2 Operator and turned sharply to the right, ultimately striking the starboard side of V2.  Both V2 Operator and V1 Operator were ejected from their respective PWC's.  They reboarded the PWC's and brought V2 to shore as it was taking on water quickly.  V2 Operator attempted to drive V1 back to Boulder Beach where he had put in and left V1 Operator on the shore with V2.  
  
  V2 Operator corroborated V1 Operator's account except that he stated he was not moving and was adrift when V1 Operator collided with him. V2 Operator was informed it would be his responsibility to recover his PWC's from the cove.   I provided a bandage for V1 Operator's bleeding toe and transported him back to his family on Boulder Beach.  Game Warden 2 transported V2 Operator back to the same location.  
  
  On June 29th, 2021, I contacted V2 Operator and met him at his home.  I photographed both PWC on the trailer.  V2 Operator informed me he would be getting an estimate of damage on both PWC's in next few days.
  
  Observed damage includes the following:
  
  V1:
  •     a large crack through the plastic on the port side footwell (gunwale side)
  
       V2:
  •     a crack through the plastic on the starboard side below the top cap seam in front of the sponson
  •     the front storage compartment cover was broken off and still missing
  •     the starboard side mirror was damaged
