  According to Law Enforcement (V1) had been riding the PWC with a juvenile on the back.  Operator2 (V2) was also riding with a juvenile in front.  Operator1 told Officers that the two PWCs hit head-on.  Operator1 admitted to Officers that he had consumed alcohol prior to operating the PWC.
  
  Officers obtained Operator1’s consent to perform field sobriety tests.  Based on the Officer’s observation during the HGN, they believed that Operator1 had been operating a watercraft under the influence of alcohol.  Operator1 was placed under arrest for Boating under the Influence, handcuffed and placed in the back of the patrol vehicle.  
  
  In the collision, 3 parties sustained injuries.  Operator1 (V1) recklessly operated his PWC with a juvenile riding on the back.  He was riding his PWC close to the other PWC (V2) and riding the wake that it created.  This was while under the influence of alcohol.  Operator1 struck the other PWC (V2) head-on.  After the PWCs collided occupant (V1) fell off the vessel into the water.  Operator2 and occupant (V2) also fell into the water resulting in injuries.
  
  Operator1 did not attempt to rescue them and rather drove away from the scene of the collision.  He was operating the PWC recklessly and while under the influence of alcohol.  Due to these circumstances, Operator1 was also charged with three counts of Assault by Watercraft.
  
  Officers transported Operator1 to the Chelan County Regional Jail where he was booked for the above-mentioned violations.  Toxicology results from the Washington State Patrol are pending.
