RedactedNarrative: On Friday, June 24th, 2022, at approximately 1212 hours, I was contacted by the Georgia State Patrol Post in Americus, in reference to a boating incident on Lake Blackshear.  GSP said 2 personal watercrafts collided, out from Lincoln Pinch on Lake Blackshear, in Crisp County.  GSP told me the incident involved a 19-year-old male and a 21-year-old female.  They said the 19-year-old male was conscious but having a hard time getting out of the water and complaining of back pain. 
  
  	The white ski boat and Crisp EMS transported Operator2 and Operator1 to the dock, where we were.  I spoke with the operator of the white ski boat, and occupant.  I asked them what happened.  They said they were traveling north on Lake Blackshear when the 2 PWCs collided.  I asked if anyone in the boat saw the incident occur.  Subject1 said she watched it happen.  I asked her if she would fill out a witness statement.  In Subject1’s statement, she said she was on Lake Blackshear and saw 2 PWCs collide.  Subject1 said she couldn’t judge the speed of the PWCs.  Subject1 said the first PWC was riding back and forth on waves with another PWC behind it.  She said the first PWC tipped to the side and the second PWC jumped over the first PWC.  She said the operator of the second PWC jumped into the water to assist the operator of the first PWC.  Subject1 said they used a seat cushion out of their vessel to stabilize Operator2 until medical help arrived.
  
  	I spoke with Operator1 while she was being evaluated by EMS.  I asked Operator1 to tell me what happened from the time they started operating the PWCs.  She said they put in at Boy Scout Slough.  Operator1 said she was on the blue Yamaha PWC and Operator2 was on the silver Honda PWC.  She said after they left the no wake zone, they saw a boat coming towards them, pulling a tube.  Operator1 said Operator2 turned sharp to the right coming to a near stop and she turned sharp to the left.  She said her PWC would not turn sharp enough, and they ran into each other.  I told Operator1 I would follow up with her if I had any other questions.  Operator2 was not questioned because he was being flown, by air ambulance, to the Atrium Health Navicent Trauma Center in Macon, Georgia.
  
  	The 2 PWCs were taken to the Lake Blackshear Law Enforcement Boathouse.  I photographed the damage to both PWCs.  A clear bag containing Operator2 phone and wallet were recovered from the silver Honda.  There was extensive damage to the silver Honda PWC.  The steering column was broken and detached from its mounting bracket.  The mirror on the starboard side was missing.  The starboard handle grip had exposed metal on the end and had white transfer in the handlebar grip.  The starboard side handlebar was bent downward.  The hood to the silver Honda was missing a section of the black plastic piece and the instrument panel was broken from its housing.  A section of the plastic surrounding the steering column was broken on the starboard side, just above the fuel cap.  There was white fiberglass pieces in the starboard footwell.  There were 2 fiberglass chips on the starboard side footwell.  The operator’s seat had friction burns on the starboard side.  The port side mirror glass was missing.  There was white fiberglass pieces and glass pieces in the port side footwell.  The
