RedactedNarrative: Boat Activities-
  Vessel 1 was purchased 3 days prior. Vessel 1 was traveling south along the west shoreline of Deer Creek Reservoir, across from the Island boat ramp. He was pulling a two person tube with two onboard. Vessel 1 had been pulling the tube for about 5 minutes.  OPERATOR1 reported that he was plowing through the water with the bow high and that he was traveling at a slow speed estimated to be 10-20 mph. 
   
  Vessel 2 was as rented from the on site boat concession, Deer Creek Island Resort. Vessel 2 was pulling a tube at wakeless speed, occupied by three people. The witness was on a rented personal watercraft, following 50 yards behind the tube. 
  
  Collision Events-
  From interviews and statements, the following occurred. Vessel 1 traveled south, with bow up, at a constant speed. Vessel 2 traveled north at wakeless speed. Vessel 2 began to make a course correction to the left as the two vessels approached towards each other. While Vessel 2 turned left, Vessel 1 continued ahead and slightly to the right. As the two vessels continued toward each other, Vessel 2 put the boat in neutral from a wakeless speed to avoid the oncoming Vessel 1.  
  
  Vessel 2 operator, drew a diagram that shows Vessel 1 approaching heading on, then as Vessel 2 slowed he showed Vessel 1 approaching from the right moving right to left in front of his bow. Vessel 2 nearly collided with the front bow of Vessel 2, passing within an estimated 3-10' from the bow without ever slowing down or making an avoidance maneuver. 
  
  The operator of Vessel 1 admitted that he did not see Vessel 2 in front of him until he saw them to the left of his boat as he was passing them.  OPERATOR1 stated he tried to make an avoidance maneuver at that time.   Narrowly escaping a catastrophic vessel collision and certain ramp over, the tube pulled by Vessel 1 was pulled into the front right bow of Vessel 2. It is believed that Vessel 1 never reduced speed after passing Vessel 2. Both of Vessel 1's tube occupants impacted the side of Vessel 2, and where separated from the tube and thrown into the water.
  
  Rescue-  
  Vessel 2 operator and his wife jumped in the water to provide aide to victim2 who appeared unconscious They found her conscious and in pain.  She didn't realize what happened but was able to provide her name and number. Witness jumped into the water from his personal watercraft to rescue V1 victim1, who was screaming and bleeding from the mouth. He assisted her back into Vessel 1. V1 victim2 was placed aboard Vessel 2.  911 was immediately called. Dispatchers advised me of the collision accident, that people were in the water, and a location as Rainbow Bay. Dispatch reported both boats were drivable. I requested that the boats respond to the closest boat ramp, which was the Main ramp.
  
  Contact and Medical Care-
  I contacted both boats north of Rainbow Bay in my patrol vessel. I found that only the two girls had been injured after colliding with Vessel 2 in the tube. Vessel 2 reported that V1 victim2 likely had a concussion, but was not bleeding and had no apparently broken bones. I could see that she was vocal, and moving around a lot. I asked them to head to the Main dock to await the ambulance. I pulled along side Vessel 1, and found  Operator1 treating victim1.  She had an obvious broken nose, had a large tongue laceration, and damage to her teeth. I placed her in a c-collar to stabilize her neck. I provided gauze to apply to her bleeding mouth. I had OPERATOR1 follow me to the dock on my wake to give them smoother water behind me. Medical units arrived at the dock and provided care to both girls. I assisted medics on the dock. Both girls were transported to Utah Valley Regional Hospital. No other passengers reported any injuries.
  
  Reporting-
  I had the driver's each complete witness statements. Subject also provided a statement. I conducted vessel safety inspections of both vessels. Statements and interviews provided a pretty clear picture of what had occurred. OPERATOR1 admitted to not having seen the other vessel until he was passing it on the left. I found OPERATOR1 to be at fault for the accident and I cited him for improper lookout. Since the vessel was 3 days old, he told me he would need to get his insurance information, but that he had a 30 day window for new vehicles with his insurance. After contacting his insurance, he learned that the vessel was not covered by insurance, because it was a separate category. I added a second charge of No insurance on a vessel, before submitting the citation to the court.
  
  Injuries-
  An Aunt of one of the girls called to learn some basic details of the accident. I informed her what I knew at the time. She informed me of the girls conditions. I was informed that V1 victim2 was released from the hospital that evening with no major injuries. I was informed that Victim1 had more serious injuries but that she was stable. I was informed she had a broken lower leg, broken nose, lacerated tongue, and that she suffered serious injuries to her front teeth and roof of her mouth.
