RedactedNarrative: On May 15th, 2021 I GWFC along with Sgt and Cpl. were on vessel patrol on Lake Lanier. At 19:36 hours we were dispatched to a boating Incident at Mary Alice Park in Forsyth County involving a pontoon boat and a jet-ski. When we arrived, we came up to a black pontoon boat that had front end damage where both the tips of the aluminum pontoons had collision damage consistent with being struck from the port side. I was placed on shore nearby in-order to speak with witnesses and the operator of the striking vessel. 
  
  When I got to shore a young man was being attended to by paramedics, so I spoke to his mother. She told me that she had allowed her son to drive the jets-ski and that she knew he did not have boater education. After the young man who was being checked out buy the paramedics was finished, he refused any further treatment and spoke to me about what happened. 
  
  The operator of the jet-ski a juvenile told me that he was heading back towards the shore going pretty fast and with the sun in his eyes, when suddenly he saw the pontoon boat. He kept the throttle engaged and tried to change directions, but it was too late, and the jet-ski collided with the front of the pontoon boat throwing him into the water. Another jet-ski picked him up and brought him to shore. 
  
  In conclusion a mother illegally allowed her son to operate a personal water craft.  He then in violation of the rules of the road and operating in an unsafe manner due to the weather conditions collided with a pontoon boat causing extensive damage to both the front end of the pontoon boat and punctured a hole in the jet-ski probably resulting in a total loss.
