RedactedNarrative: On 09-18-22 at approximately 1522 hours, Deputies responded to a 2 vessel injury crash involving 2 personal water crafts (PWCs'') on the Colorado River in the area of Mohave Valley. Reporting party stated he was standing on his dock and witnessed 2 blue and white PWC''s crash into each other. He said that a total of 3 occupants were involved. 1 PWC was occupied by 2 males and the other was occupied by 1 male. He stated the both PWC''s were upside down and floating down the river. 
  
  San Bernardino County Sheriff advised they had a boat on the water and would attempt to locate the subjects. We also had 2 Deputies attempting to locate by land. With negative contact, I called the Valley View Hospital who advised they just had a subject who was transported with a broken pelvis from a PWC crash. I was then given their information and conducted follow up via phone. 
  
  V2 Operator:
  Operator2 said that him and his son, Son were on 1 PWC and his friend Operator1 was on the other. He said that they were going about 20-30MPH and Operator1 was doing donuts in front of him. Operator2 said everything happened so fast and he doesn't really remember how it happened. He stated that Operator1 turned in front of him and he ended up crashing into the right side of Operator1. He said they were all thrown into the water from the crash. He and Son were able to get back onto their PWC and realized Operator1 was hurt. They were able to get Operator1 to shore and called 911 and got picked up by an ambulance. Operator2 said he was able to retrieve the PWC''s after the crash.
  
  The following day I spoke with Operator2 on the phone and he was at first being cooperative and told me that he would get the PWC information for me. 10 days went by and I never heard from him. On 09-29-22 I called Operator1 first and he did not answer. I then called Operator2 and he said, " I thought I sent them to you, hold on." He then hung up the phone. It appears they are avoiding giving out any further information. I then had Deputy go by Operator2''s house and Operator2 nor the PWCs were there. The following day I received an email with photos of the damage from the 2 PWC''s involved. Estimated damage $4000.00.
