RedactedNarrative: Deputy was patrolling the lake when he was flagged down by a boat reporting a collision with a PWC. The deputy made contact with the operator of Watercraft #2. She stated that she was driving along and that a personal watercraft (Watercraft #1) had struck the left bow of her watercraft. She stated that the boys (Operator #1 and his passenger) on the PWC were not looking and that they just ran into the side and rolled. She reported that there were not any injuries on her watercraft (WC #2) and that the boys said they were not hurt, got back on their PWC apologetically and took off. Operator #1's sister remained in the area and identified the boys and where they went. The deputy inspected the damage to WC #2. It showed damage to the left bow fiberglass, with scuffs and indentations.
  
  The deputy proceeded to Operator #1's location. The deputy asked if he had any injuries and Operator #1 stated he did not. The deputy asked him to explain what had happened. Operator #1 stated that they were sitting by the channel and that he was getting a gas card from another PWC. When he went to take off, he was looking to the left and turning and then moments later collided with the boat, rolling the PWC and being ejected. He stated that the boat was very close and it happened very quickly. The deputy inspected the damage to WC #1. It had a broken fin and scratches to the gel coat on the bottom.
  
  A witness came to the dock at Operator #1's property. He stated that he had observed the collision. He stated that he watched WC #2 moving fast and that WC #1 took off and collided in the side of WC #2.
  
  The deputy then went to talk to Operator #2 again. He asked her about her speed, the speed of WC #1 and her distance. Operator #2 responded that she was coming back up to plane after stopping to try to find a place to pass through the traffic. She stated that the PWC was stopped off to her left and they were maybe 35 feet from them when the collision happened. The deputy advised Operator #2 that a citation for operating a boat in a careless and heedless manner would be mailed to her, because of the distance at which she came to the PWC and the speed she was traveling at.
  
  Life jackets were being worn on WC #1. It is unknown if they were used on WC #2.
