RedactedNarrative: On august 5, 2014, approximately 12:00 hours i was patrolling on the ohio river in my jon boat half way from rising sun to laughery creek when dearborn county dispatch contacted me and advised me of a boat crash near laughery creek involving injuries.  Upon arrival i observed two jet skies  near the mouth of laughery creek and asked if they had been involved in the accident and they said yes.  One of the jet ski's would not run so i assisted them with a tow rope to pull the other in.  I then proceeded to light house yacht club and located a runabout boat with the victim sitting on the ski platform located on the back of the boat.  
  
  Victim was in extreme pain.  I assisted aurora ambulance personnel in getting victim off the ski platform and into the ambulance so they could transport her to air care helicopter from university of cincinnati which had landed at the marina.  I then wrote down all the personal information of those involved, and took brief statements on what happened, advising i would contact them later via phone.
  Operator2 stated she and one person were on a jet ski bearing registration in 1019 bk.  Her sister operator1 and her aunt victim were on another jet ski bearing in 8097 bh, that they had left the marina near the mouth of laughery creek, that they were riding them on the ohio river, that they saw pwc owner come out of the laughery creek.  Operator2 stated both she and her sister operator1 went to PWc owner’s boat.  Operator2 stated that operator1 got to pwc owner's boat before her, that she didn't see operator1 and her aunt victim and struck them from behind.  Operator2 stated that she didn't see them because of the wake/wave made from pwc owner's boat.  
  I then had aurora auto tow both jet skis to their location and contacted ico, a certified boat accident re-constructionist, to come and do a boat accident reconstruction.  
    
  On 9/29/14 i contacted victim by phone and interviewed her.  Victim stated that they (she and her niece operator1) had gone out on the ohio river riding her boyfriend's jet ski waiting on him to bring his boat out.  That her other niece operator2 and her occupant was on pwc owner's other jet ski.  That they all had been riding approximately 10 minutes when pwc owner came out and proceeded downstream.  Victim stated that operator1 drove the ski over to pwc owner's boat and stopped.  Victim stated she didn't remember anything after that.  Victim was able to tell me the extent of her injuries which included a broken back, broken ribs, and punchured lung.
  On 10/1/14 i was able to contact Pwc owner and interviewed him.  Pwc owner stated they got to light house yacht club about 12:00 noon, that the girls took his jet skis and proceeded to go out on the ohio river to ride.  Pwc owner stated that he got out on the river approximately 12:30 pm and started down river.  Pwc owner stated that shortly after that he heard a crash and saw that there had been a crash between the two jet skies.  Pwc owner stated they got victim into his boat, called 911 and went back to the light house yacht club.  Pwc owner stated he did not see anything. 
  On 10/10/14 i mailed the indiana boat operators boat accident report forms to operator2 and operator1 as well as a citation for failure to operate a watercraft with prudent operation to operator2
