RedactedNarrative: On Saturday, July 24, 2021 at approximately 1924, while patrolling in Bartow County, CPL received a call from Georgia State Patrol dispatch stating that a boat accident had occurred near Victoria Marina in Cherokee County.  They informed us that it involved 4 juveniles who were possibly in the water. 
  
  	I arrived on scene at Victoria Marina at approximately 2008.   After we arrived there, we spoke with a Cherokee County Deputy who had collected witness information for us.  He informed us that the driver of one of the PWCs had been transported to WellStar hospital.  
  
  	 I went to interview the driver of PWC 1.  He stated that they had been riding around, jumping wake and that he did not see Operator2.  He said he looked to the right then felt the collision.  I asked him if they were wearing PFDs and he said they all were.  I then asked him how much experience he had operating PWCs, and he said a little, about 5 hours.  I asked him if he had taken a boater education course and he said no.  
  
  	I then interviewed the passenger on PWC 1 who stated that they had gone out riding.  He said Operator1 had a history of going crazy, so he was trying to get him to calm down, but Operator1 sped off.  I asked him to clarify what he meant by Operator1 had a history of going crazy, and he said getting wound up and going crazy.  I asked if he meant reckless and going fast and he said yes.  He said Operator2 had jumped a wake and Operator1 went to jump the same wake.  He said that their PWC hit the other one after jumping the wake.  He said everyone was thrown in the water.  V1 occupant said V2 occupant immediately started screaming and holding his arm.  He pulled V2 occupant on the PWC and then Operator2 started to scream too.  He got both Operator2 and V2 occupant to the dock.  I asked V1 occupant if they were all wearing PFDs and he said yes.  
  
  	I photographed the damage to both PWCs.  Halfway down the starboard gunwale there was a significant gouge in the fiberglass on PWC 2.  The center compartment was crushed from the starboard side and the seat was torn and bent towards the port side.  The underside of PWC 1 had scuffs and scratches running down the keel at the bow.  
  
  I asked if either of the operators had taken a boater ed course.  He said Operator2 was in the process of taking one.  I told him that they both needed it complete before they operated.
