RedactedNarrative: At 1515 on June 12, 2016; Boat A was headed upstream on the Shenandoah River just above the I-66 overpass. Boat A, an unregistered personal watercraft (PWC) with no fire extinguisher onboard, was owned by Owner1 and was being operated by Operator1. This was Operator1's first time operating a PWC and she had not completed a boating safety education course. Just prior to the incident she was reducing speed and preparing to make a left U-turn. She looked over her left shoulder and noticed that Boat B was behind her and operating at speed.
  
  Boat B was owned and operated by Operator2 who had his 10 year old son onboard. He was preparing to give way and pass Operator1 on her port side. Operator2 saw Operator1 acknowledge his presence when she looked over her left shoulder.
  
  Operator1 started her U-turn. 
  
  Operator2 decided to become the stand-on vessel while Operator1 completed her turn.
  
  Operator1, seeing Operator2 coming straight at her port side, turned the steering controls more to the left, but did not provide sufficient thrust with the accelerator to clear Operator2's course. 
  
  Operator2, seeing Operator1 turning the steering controls but unable to clear his course, decided to give-way and turned hard to starboard.
  
  Contact was made between Boat A's aft starboard side and Boat B's port side bow. This contact likely caused a secondary contact between Boat A's steering controls and Operator1's chest. Operator1 was ejected from Boat A and landed in the water. Operator1 felt like she had the wind knocked out of her and felt pain in her left and left rear torso.
  
  A boating bystander helped a conscious Operator1 get back onto Boat A. Operator2 towed Operator1 and her vessel back to her party at the Front Royal Golf Club boat ramp. There Operator2 offered several times to call for help and reporting. Operator1 and her husband declined; and promptly left to seek medical attention at Winchester Medical Center. 
  
  Owner1 took a photograph of Operator2's vessel. Owner1 and her party promptly trailered the PWC and left. The attendant at the Front Royal Golf Club observed that Owner1’s husband was in an unusual hurry to turn in keys to the boat ramp.
  
  Operator2 returned to the water, he accessed the river via Riverton Landing.
  
  Operator1's injuries included several ribs broken at the sternum and a broken clavicle requiring surgery.
  
  Operator1’s husband reported the incident on June 21, 2016.
