RedactedNarrative: On July 30, 2017, I, RFC with the Department of Natural Resources Law Enforcement Division, received a complaint of a boat incident near Atlanta Yacht Club on Allatoona Lake involving two PWC.  I responded to the area by vessel while two others responded by vehicle.
  
  Once I arrived on scene, one of the PWC operators was being treated by Cherokee County Fire and Rescue.  The injured operator had sustained injuries to the head and right hand and arm.  At this time, the other PWC involved could not be located.  
  
  Operator1 was loaded into Cherokee County EMS and transported to Kennastone Hospital for further treatment.  The Sea Doo PWC that Operator1 was operating belong to his uncle.  The boating incident occurred approximately 400 yards out into the lake from Atlanta Yacht Club.  Another PWC was in that location at the time of the incident but stated that he did not see the incident occur.
  
  The PWC, vessel 1, being operated by Operator1 was located at the Galt's Ferry boat ramp.  I went to that location to gather more information regarding the incident and to observe the PWC involved.  The Sea Doo sustained damage from the bow to the steering column, primarily from the center to the starboard side.  While I was observing the damage to this PWC, Sgt. and RFC was able to locate the other PWC involved.
  
  The other PWC, vessel 2, a white Yamaha was located in the Galt's Ferry boat ramp parking area.  See attached witness statement regarding the incident.  
  
  As I was gathering information from Operator2, I was notified of a witness and gathered information.
  
  From collaborating with all the information I could gather from the interviews, it appeared that three PWC were operating in the same general direction towards Illinois Creek from Atlanta Yacht Club area.  Operator1, vessel 1, was to the right, approximately 60 feet, from Operator2, vessel 2.  Subject was just ahead of the other two PWC.  Operator1, vessel 1, began to turn to the left to go the opposite direction.  Operator1, vessel 1, crossed into the path of Operator2, causing Operator2 to collide with him.  Operator2 PWC traveled over the bow and steering column of Operator1 PWC.  The collision ejected Operator1 from his PWC.  Subject then turned around and assisted Operator1 who was in the water.  From there other boaters in the area assisted.
  
  On July 31, I contacted subject2 to check status on Operator1.  Ge advised that Operator1 was released from the hospital and is doing better.  Nothing further at this time.
