RedactedNarrative: Arizona game and fish officers responded to the scene of a watercraft incident and discovered nps rangers already on scene and treating a young female with a foot injury.  Officer1 came alongside and off-loaded the injured female''s mother from their watercraft for transport to princess cove to accompany her daughter to western regional hospital in the ambulance.  Officer1 asked the mother if she was on the boat when the incident occurred and she answered yes, she said she was the observer watching her daughter on the tube.  
   
  Officer1 asked her what happened she replied that "subject1" was riding a jetski and stopped or fell off.  "subject2" was operating the boat towing the girls and she said somehow the tube hit the jetski that "subject1" was operating.  She then said "he" was going too fast and she didn''t understand how it happened.  
   
  From the initial investigation, v1 was towing 3 females on a tube in burro cove on lake mohave.  A family friend, "subject1" was apparently operating a pwc (v2) in close proximity and may have been shadowing the towing activity.  The operator of v2 was ejected for an unknown reason and the victim on the tube stuck out her right foot and made contact with the unmanned pwc as it entered the pathway between the towing vessel and the victim on the tube.  The injured female had injured her ankle with unknown severity.
  
  Following transport of the victim to princess cove, Officer1 returned to the shoreside location of the involved parties.  
   
  Officer1 was introduced to "subject3" the victim''s father and then asked to speak to "subject2" and "subject1". Subject2 said that he was towing the girls on the tube when an unknown jet ski came out of nowhere and hit the girls on the tube.  Operator provided a written statement to that effect. When the officers asked for "subject1" no one could find him, then operator said they didn''t know where he went but could''ve gone to the hospital.  Officer1 asked to speak to the other females on the boat and was met with resistance and no one could remember who was on the boat.  Officer1 pointed out three female subjects that he recognized were on the boat and they reluctantly provided written statements that said they didn''t see anything.  Operator became very defensive, somewhat belligerent and refused to provide the names of additional persons that were on the vessel.  In addition, while the other witnesses were providing written statements, he repeated that an unknown "grey and black" pwc hit the girls, intentionally trying to persuade the witnesses what the story was.
  
  This investigator believes the statements that were provided by the witnesses, with the exception of the victim''s mother, were not true accounts of what had occurred.  The operator of v1 was defensive and believed to be deceptive regarding the pwc and operator that had made contact with the girls on the tube and caused the injury.  The story he provided seemed concocted and diverted attention away from the truth.  The candid account of what happened immediately after the incident as provided by the victim''s mother is believed to be a more accurate depiction of the events than the story that was relayed following a collaboration to avoid liability.
