RedactedNarrative: On 6/13/20, three people departed a boat slip at 27 Queen Bess Dr. Grand Isle, LA on personal watercrafts (PWCs) at approximately 4:00 p.m. Both vessels were Kawasaki PWC with remote steering. Operators and passengers wore type 3 PFD, and kill lanyards were used. 
  
  Ves1 travelled ahead of Ves2, both travelling approximately 40 MPH. Shortly after leaving the boat slip and travelling a distance of 1-2 miles, Ves 2 came off step abruptly. Fearing a collision, Ves2 reduced speed and turned to the port-side to avoid a collision. 
  
  Despite changing course and speed, Ves2 collided with Ves1 in a glancing fashion. Upon impact, Operator1 was knocked off of Ves1. Operator2 jumped into the water and helped operator1get back on Ves1. Operator1 told Operator2 that her right side hurt and feared serious injury. 
  
  Operator2 notified Jefferson Parish 9-1-1 immediately and requested EMS to his home. Operator2 and V2 occupant left the scene quickly to flag-down EMS, while Operator1 travelled slowly back to her home due to pain on her right torso and right upper thigh. Grand Isle EMS, Grand Isle Police Department, and Jefferson Parish Sheriff's Office arrived at the home of Devin and Operator1 shortly after. EMS transported Operator1 to Lady of the Sea Hospital (Galliano) for treatment. She was later taken to University Hospital (New Orleans) for additional treatment and observation. Operator1 was released from the hospital on 6/14/20. Operator1 sustained 6 fractured ribs (right side), a bruised lung (right side), and a large hematoma to the right thigh.
