RedactedNarrative: May 31, 2015, two 14 year old individuals were operating their new jet ski's in the Elizabeth River, Portsmouth VA., just off off City Park.  Both operators were going east on the waterway side by side, they simultaneously made outboard turns away from each other in a circle and began coming back toward each other.  As a boat heading southwest passed nearby them it created a wake, this wake caused both jet ski operators to lose control of their jet ski's.  Jet ski #2 then collided head on into jet ski #1.   
  
  Jet ski #1 sustained damage to the bow and front cowling and partially sank in the river.  A good Samaritan stopped and gave the youths a rope so they could tow the partially submerged jet ski back to the public boat ramp at City Park.  They then towed jet ski #1 back to the boat ramp and left it there.  
  
  The operator of jet ski #1, Operator1, sustained a minor bruise to his forehead and was taken by his mother to Maryview Hospital in Portsmouth where he was evaluated and released.  Jet ski #2 sustained damage to the bow.   Photographs were taken of both watercraft.  Operator1has not completed a boaters safety course.  
  
  The owner of the jet skis and operator1 stated that they did not know the name of the other jet ski operator.  Owner stated that when they are out on the jet ski's, he lets anyone ride his jet ski's that asks to ride them.  The other operator was just an acquaintance from the area that approached them and asked if he could go for a ride.  The only name they had for him was a nickname.  Numerous hours were spent by officers talking to neighbors, the family and local store owners trying to obtain identifying information for the second operator with no identity ever determined.  Owner was issued a summons for VA Code: 29.1-749.
