RedactedNarrative: Operator was riding a friend's PWC and hit a wake.  Operator became separated from the PWC (that was the story that was given to the officer by operator's brother who was on scene but said he did not witness the accident).  
  
  According to the brother the only damage was a right mirror reflector and he did not know who owed it or where it was.  
  
  
  The operator gave a different story to who actually owned the PWC and where it was located.  The injured told the officer that he purchased it from his brother's friend and it was the 1st time operating it. 
  
  The alleged PWC that was shown to the officer is an older model but it did have damage on to the starboard side (pushed in/cracked rub rail and marks on starboard side) consistent with a collision.  
   
  
  The operator was also experienced at operating PWC's.  This lake is not large, has had many issues with PWC's in tandem operating at high speeds, sharp turns, jumping wakes etc. and gives operators of PWCs a very finite amount of time to perceive and react to any type of on-coming contact with another PWC.
