RedactedNarrative: On 08/02/2020 at approximately 3:15pm on  I was contacted by dispatch regarding an accident involving a PWC and a larger vessel.  I was informed EMS was contacted and the Army Core of Engineers were already on scene and bring the vessels and occupants to Lithia Marina.  Officer and I arrived at Litha Marina at approximately 3:35 pm.
  
  The accident occurred around Cove 2 when a jet ski struck a boat directly in the port side of the vessel.  Operator1 was jumping wakes from another boat when he lost control and drove directly into the port side of Operator2''s vessel.  
  
  Upon further investigation I found Operator1 had never been on a jet ski before and did not have a required boater safety course.  Operator2 stated that the vessel creating the wakes was about 500 yards away, and Operator1 appeared to be driving too fast and lost control and collided directly into their side.  
  
  The jet ski Operator1 was operating was owned by a family friend which received damage to the front of the PWC.  Operator2''s boat received heavy damage to the port side.  A huge hole, along with a crack from the top to bottom of hull, and the trim of motor has become inoperable.
  
  It was determined to issue the parent of Operator1 a citation for allowing youth to operate PWC without valid boater safety course.
