RedactedNarrative: At approximately 15:30 on august 11th 2018, i was contacted by water patrol officer that there had been a jet ski which overturned near the island view boat ramp located on rathbun lake in appanoose co., iowa. I arrived on scene at 15:51 and the victim was in an ambulance and had problems regaining her breathing.
  
  I found through interviews that the victim ad been operating a pwc approximately 70 yards east of the island view boat ramp. This vessel was occupied by 3 individuals. 
  
  It was found that the operator had operated a pwc 4 times in the past and this was her first time operating this pwc. This pwc was purchased the week prior to this incident. Witness was on a pwc near her mother and stated that a wake from a larger boat came into the victims pwc and her mother did not know how to operate this vessel well. She also stated that her mother had breathing issues for quite some time and had been hospitalized for her condition in the past.
  
  Once the victims pwc overturned the family tried rescuing the three individuals on another pwc which in turn also overturned due to the weight. A passing vessel retrieved the individuals in their vessel and pulled the two pwc's with the victim to the boat ramp. At this time the ambulance was called. The ambulance crew could not get the victims breathing corrected and chose to contact a rescue helicopter to transport the victim to assess her breathing.
  
  The damage to these pwc's was minimal. There was no collision or breaks to these vessels. The only damage to these vessels was from being overturned in the water.
