RedactedNarrative: On the evening of June 5, 2021 Wardens received a report of a jetski crash on the Missouri River near the Desert south of Bismarck.  The Wardens responded from the Steckel boat ramp near Wilton.  While en-route to assist in the crash the Wardens were made aware that the male and female from the jetski crash had been pulled ashore at the Graner boat ramp on the west side of the Missouri river.  EMS and Morton County SO responded to the Graner boat ramp.  
  
  When the Wardens arrived on scene the operator of the jetski had been taken away by ambulance.  The female passenger was still at the boat ramp area and was not harmed in the crash.  The Wardens collected information from the deputies, spoke with the witnesses and female passenger.  
  
  Warden spoke with Subject to try and clarify what had occurred.  She stated she had just met Operator, the operator of the jetski, he offered her a ride and she got on the back of the jetski.  She stated that he was doing circles with the jetski and when it tipped they were both in the water.  
  
  Once in the water she explained that she was trying to help Operator and he was unable to stay above the water even with his personal floatation device on.  She took her personal floatation device off because she thought that she was strong swimmer and it was hampering her ability to swim.   Both the deceased male and the female floated downstream. She had ahold of his life jacket to keep him with her.  Once they were near the next boat landing people heard her calls for help and they were pulled to shore.
