RedactedNarrative: I Game Warden was patrolling Lake Mead by vessel on July 12th, 2019. 
  
  I received a call from Reno Dispatch Center to respond to a vessel accident at Las Vegas Boat Harbor. I arrived at the gas dock at Las Vegas Boat Harbor at approximately 1500 hours. The accident involved two rental personal watercrafts. I was able to identify both operators as well as both vessels involved. There were no injuries. 
  
  Both individuals were cooperative and completed witness statements as to the events that led up to the incident. 
  
  Operator2 was operating the rental PWC just south of Sentinel Island on Lake Mead. Operator2 was operating in a northerly direction turning slightly from port to starboard adjacent to a third PWC. The operator of the ski is unknown. 
  
  Operator1 was operating the rental PWC just behind the ski operated by Operator2 and the unknown rider. Operator1 stated that he was close to both PWC''s, they were in front of him. Operator1 stated that he was hit in the face with spray from the PWC adjacent to starboard side. As Operator1 was being hit with spray, he stated that he turned to the “left”, he was unable to see that Operator2 had reduced his speed and was moving very slow. It is at this point that Operator1 collided with the starboard stern of the PWC operated by Operator2. The PWC operated by Operator1 ramped the transom of the PWC operated by Operator2. 
  
  Damage on the ski operated by both Operator1 and Operator2 is consistent with a ramping of one vessel onto another. 
  
  The damage on vessel one is a cracked hull just above the bow eye. The crack in the fiberglass is approximately 6”-8” long and has compromised the hull of the ski allowing water to enter the engine compartment. There are multiple scratches and areas of paint transfer along the hull and keel adjacent to the bow eye that do not affect the structural integrity of the vessel. Damage estimate on this vessel is approximately $500.
  
  The damage on vessel two is fiberglass cracking at the transom where the rear seat is mounted. The frame of the seat is damaged and will need to be replaced as well as the hardware that secures the seat needs replacement. Damage estimate on this vessel is approximately $1600.
  
  Operator1 was cited for violation of NRS 488.540, navigation rule #8, Action to avoid a collision.
