  NARRATIVE
  
  On August 01, 2022, at approximately 1314, I, Ute Lake State Park Superintendent, received a telephone call from park visitor, Vessel Owner. Vessel Owner requested an extension on the checkout time for campsite #32 in the Yucca Campground. The request was in reference to an accident that had occurred about an hour earlier involving his daughter, Operator, while she was operating a personal watercraft on the lake. While speaking with Vessel Owner, I asked him what happened, and he told me that he was in the process of transporting Operator to the hospital in Tucumcari to have her sore ribs checked out. Vessel Owner then told me that the PWC involved in the accident was off the water and on a trailer at Yucca campsite #32. 
  
  A short time later Vessel Owner and Witness were able to meet with me at the Ute Lake Visitors Center. Witness, who witnessed the accident, told me that Operator was transporting passengers from one side of the lake to the other so they could jump off the rocks into the water and swim. Witness said Operator was transporting a passenger to the area where they were swimming. As the PWC approached the area, Witness thought Operator was coming in too hot to stop. He saw Operator shut the engine off to the PWC, she lost power to the steering, and attempted to steer away from the rocks on shore. Unable to tum away from the shoreline, the bow of the PWC struck the rocks head on. The impact from the collision caused Operator to strike the steering column of the PWC with the upper torso of her body and caused passenger to be ejected into the water off the stern of the PWC. 
  
  I was able to con tact Vessel Owner the following day and he told me that Operator had sustained a hairline fracture in one of her ribs and was sore.
