RedactedNarrative: On July 13 2014 at approximately 1300 hours my partner (Dep.) and I (Dep.) responded to Lake Coeur D'Alene in response to a boat accident near Arrow Point. Upon our arrival on scene we were flagged down to a dock on the Arrow Point side of the lake directly east of Twin Beaches, I observed two yellow and white jet skis moored to the dock. I also observed several adults on the dock standing around medical personnel who were treating a male who was later identified. Once we moored our vessel to the dock I observed medical personnel stabilizing Operator2's neck in a neck brace and checking him for additional injuries. Several adult bystanders who were on the dock identified Operator2 as one of the operators involved in the jet ski collision. 
  
  I contacted the other operator of the jet ski which collided with Operator2's jet ski. He was later identified. When I spoke with Operator1 pertaining to the circumstances surrounding the collision I observed his arms shaking and he spoke at a low tone of voice. I also observed him on several occasions look down and away from me when he responded to my questions. Operator1 was cooperative despite being noticeably shaken by the events of the collision. He indicated to me, he and Operator2 had stopped at a friend's house around Arrow Point. Operator1 could not give an accurate location due to his unfamiliarity with the lake. 
  
  Operator1 informed me when they departed the other residence they came around the point and entered into the channel of the lake between Arrow Point and Twin Beaches. The two separated and Operator1 traveled south. He recounted that he traveled south on the lake for a short time then turned north heading back towards Operator2. He indicated that Operator2 was near their dock and that he was going to "jump his wake". Operator1 remarked that Operator2 was traveling near shore, approximately 50 feet from the dock. Operator1 informed me that as he approached Operator2's wake, Operator2 turned his jet ski in a u-turn maneuver and headed west back out into the lake. Operator1 indicated once Operator2 turned his vessel he was unable to exercise due caution so to prevent colliding with the jet ski Operator2 was operating. Operator1 said " I froze up and just let go of the throttle". He further informed me both he and Operator2 "let off" the throttle of their jet ski's prior to the collision but he was unable to make any course corrections or maneuvers to avoid colliding with Operator2's jet ski. 
  
  When I asked Operator1 if he could recall the speed he was going prior to and leading up to the collision of the watercraft, he remarked that he did not know his exact speed at the time of the collision but that they were going "fast enough". Neither jet ski was equipped with a tachometer or speedometer. I asked Operator1 if at any time he lost visual contact with Operator2 when he turned north on the lake intending to "jump his wake". Operator1 again stated he "froze up". Operator1 then stated he saw him and his jet ski the entire time. Operator1 remarked he collided with Operator2's jet ski throwing him from the vessel into the water. Operator1 indicated he stopped his jet ski, jumped into the water to help Operator2. 
  
  A witness on the dock just south of the collision scene who was identified completed a Kootenai County Sheriff voluntary statement form indicating that two men were racing/playing on jet skis at a high rate of speed. She indicated that jet ski "1" made a sharp left turn and struck jet ski "2". She indicated that Operator2's jet ski was "hit hard" causing him to be thrown off the watercraft and into the water. Witness remarked in her statement she could hear the man moaning in the water once he was thrown from his jet ski. She indicated family members on the dock jumped into the water to remove him from the water. 
  
  The jet ski Operator1 was operating sustained fiberglass and gel coat damage to the bow of the vessel around the bow eye just below the water li
