RedactedNarrative: On July 12, 2015, Park Ranger was patrolling in the Bluffton Area at Cedar Bluff State Park. At approximately 5:00 PM he was checking vehicle permit compliance at the beach parking lot. Park Ranger observed two Personal Water Craft traveling in toward the beach at a medium rate of speed one leading with the other following close behind and to the right. The lead PWC (# 1 ) made a hard right turn and the second PWC (# 2 ) collided into the right side of lead PWC ejecting operator and passenger. #2 PWC operator remained in control, turned around and retrieved passenger of #1 PWC from water and towed operator of #1 PWC to #1 PWC. Operator #2 PWC then came into shore with his passenger and the passenger from #1 PWC. Upon arrival I saw that passenger #1 was a small child with a cut below his chin. The mother pulled the child from PWC, removed child's PFD, and saw a chin wound and noticed bruising on the right hip. She told me to call 911 for an ambulance. At approx. 5:05 PM I notified Trego County Sheriff Office and requested an ambulance. The mother laid her hurt child in the front seat of vehicle and I gave gauze and ice pack to mother to put on the child's chin while they waited for ambulance. The operator of #1 PWC climbed onto his PWC and returned to shore. 
   
  Upon returning to shore I noticed he did not have a PFD on and asked him where it was. He stated that it was torn off during the collision and he couldn't find it in the water. I asked if he was hurt. He said he just hurt his right leg but was ok. I then asked operator of #2 PWC if he or his passenger were hurt. He stated that he was ok and that his passenger had bumped her head. The passenger with him was his child. He then stated that he didn't see the #1 PWC turn until it was too late, he tried to turn right to avoid, but still collided. The ambulance arrived at approx. 5:30PM. EMT's checked all involved and then transported passenger of #1 PWC to hospital for further examination. I notified Game Warden of accident and collected necessary information. 
  
  On 07/13/2015, Game Warden called Operator2 via telephone to ask a few questions about the accident. Operator2 said that he had been following behind and to the right of vessel #1, and that Operator2 had been travelling about 25-30 miles per hour and had looked down and the next thing he knew he had collided with vessel #1. GW then asked Operator2, how far he had been travelling from vessel #1, and he indicated he was not far, maybe 50-100 feet. GW \ then contacted Operator1 via telephone to ask a few questions. GW asked Operator1 how fast he was going Operator1 said his panel was burned out but he estimated maybe 10 miles per hour, because he was making a right hand turn. GW then asked what color the life jacket was. Operator1 said blue. GW then asked how the jacket could have come off, Operator1 said that he only had one buckle fastened and that the jacket was too small, but he had been drug a short distance, so the jacket could have come off then.
