RedactedNarrative: On 6/4/2015, at 3:37 PM I (CPO) was advised by the Illinois State Police dispatch at District 13 of a boat accident that involved a 18 foot Celebrity boat and a personal watercraft colliding head on. I was also advised the female operator of the PWC had received a head injury and that Lake of Egypt Fire and Rescue were in route to the location on Lake of Egypt. I arrived at the South Eastern power plant boat dock at 4:23 PM where the two vessels involved had been brought to. All persons (5 POB) were at that location that had been on the Celebrity. The female operator of the PWC was in the process of being tranferred from an ambulance onto Air Evac helicopter (Marion stationed). All five person from the Celebrity boat told me that they were north bound cruising toward the north end of the lake. They told me that a PWC was off their port side doing S''s or zig zagging manuever''s and was getting closer to their watercraft.
  
      I was told by the operator of the Celebrity (vessel #1) that he backed his throttle down and  he was told by one of his passenger''s "I don''t think she sees us". It was reported to me that at approximately 3:15 PM the operator of the PWC (vessel #2) made a sharp turn to her right, then arcing (half circle) manuever in a south direction and was then straight in the path with vessel #1. I was told that at this point the operator of the PWC accelerated the throttle and the PWC struck the port side bow of vessel #1.  It was reported that a female in the front seating area of vessel #1 was thrown forward and down into the bottom of the boat. This female was later treated by Lake of Egypt fire and rescue for a cut to her chin and advised to have a x-ray completed of her right hand and wrist. The x-ray completed later showed she had fractures to her hand and wrist.
  
      It was reported that the PWC had traveled under vessel #1 and was struck by the prop when it reached the rear of the boat. I was told that the female operator of the PWC was also in the water behind the vessel #1. She was reported to be face down and not moving immediately after the collision. Male passenger told me he jumped in and began swimming to her. The operator of vessel #1 checked on his wife and then he turned his Celebrity around to the location of the PWC operator. The operator of vessel #1 then jumped in the water and helped Occupant get the PWC operator turned over.  Occupant told someone to call 911 as the woman was not conscious and had a head wound on the left side of her forehead. The 911 call was made at 3:19 PM. Lake of Egypt fire and rescue arrived within 7 -10 minutes.
  
      The operator of vessel #2 was flown to Deaconess Hospital in Evansville, Indiana where she was admitted to that hospital. I was able to interview her on 6/5/2015. Victim told me that her son had told her he thought something was wrong with the SeaDoo and that she took it out to see if it was operating correctly. She told me that she was zig zagging and seeing if it was operating correctly. Victim told me that she did not remember seeing the Celebrity off her starboard side. She told me that she was going north toward the dam and that is all she remembers. She told me that she does not remember the impact with the Celebrity. She did tell me that she had only been on the water for approximately 5 minutes. Her husband told me that she was expected to make a full recovery. She suffered head trauma (37 stitches), a concussion, fractured ribs and left foot injury not yet x-rayed.
