RedactedNarrative: On July 15, 2017, at approximately 20:12, I was advised of a non-injury crash, involving personal watercraft (PWC), at 1401 Harshman Road, Eastwood Lake MetroPark. Due to investigating an OVI crash at the same location, l arrived at the scene of the watercraft crash at 21:27. When l arrived at the scene, both watercraft had already been placed on their trailers and removed from the lake. I met with both of the operators, whom was operating a white and yellow Bombardier, and operating a white and blue Yamaha. 
  
  The operator of vessel 2, stated she had been doing laps around the lake and was passing the PWC launch area, when the operator of vessel 1, turned into her watercraft. She stated he had been doing circles in the water in front of the launch area and as she approached the area, he hit the rear, starboard side of her watercraft. She stated she was not injured and had remained on her watercraft; however the operator of vessel 1, had fallen off of his. 
  
  I then spoke with the operator of vessel 1. He stated he was doing doughnuts in the water, in front of the PWC launch area and had seen another PWC in the distance. He said as pulled out of the doughnut, to continue straight and found the operator of vessel 2, was within the circle he had been doing. He stated he attempted to do a sharp turn to avoid contact, but was unable to avoid the operator of vessel 2. He also stated he was not injured, however he had been thrown from his watercraft. I then checked both watercraft for required safety equipment and photographed the watercraft and the damage caused from the collision. The PWC operated by vessel 1, had damage to the bow (front center) of the craft and the PWC operated by vessel 2, had damage to the lower, rear starboard (right) side of the craft. The damage is consistent with vessel 1, craft striking vessel 2 craft, as she past his location.
  
  Prior to my arrival, Officer had been investigating a vehicle crash in the same area and met with the parties involved in this incident. He had also obtained witness statements from some of the other individuals in the area, which had left prior to my arrival. Witness #2 statement stated he observed operator of vessel #1 going back and forth in front of the area, when the operator of vessel #2  was approaching at a higher speed. He stated the operator of vessel #1 turned and collided with vessel #2.  Witness # 3 statement stated he observed vessel #1 operator, maneuvering at low speed and vessel #2 operator approached the area at higher speed, close to the operator of vessel #1. Witness # 4 statement stated she observed the operator of Vessel #1 repeatedly going in circles close to the PWC launch area and appeared to be reckless. Witness #1 statement stated the operator of vessel #1 was going the wrong way in from of the PWC launch area and was turning to go the other way when operator of vessel # 2, started to pass. He stated operator of vessel #1 turned into vessel # 2 and neither of the two was looking where they were going.
  
  After speaking with both of the subjects involved and reviewing the witness statements that were obtained, both operators failed to maintain safe operation by keeping a proper lookout. Operator of vessel # 2 was operating her craft too close to vessel #1; however, Operator of vessel #1 did not maintain a proper lookout, when changing his course. l then issued both operators citations for a violation contrary to Five Rivers MctroParks ordinance, 91.04 B, safe operation / proper lookout. Both individuals signed their citations (lns, acknowledging their court date and time of July 31, 2017, at 1000, in the Dayton Municipal Court. Both subjects left the area without further incident: and the memory card containing the photographs was transported to Five Rivers Metro Parks Ranger Headquarters. where it was placed into evidence.
