  Narrative:
  On 8/6/2016 at the approximate time of 1400 hours I Deputy#1 received a call about a vessel that collided into another vessel with one female subject injured. On my way to the scene by boat I witnesses Buckskin Fire in the Moovalya Keys area attempting to locate the injured female. Due to my angle I could clearly see the area which the collision had occurred. I picked up Buckskin Fire staff and transported them down to the scene.
  Upon arrival, I Made contact with the injured female later identified as Injured1 who was on the back porch of the southern corner house of the Keys Two, located off the south entrance of Moovalya Keys. She was conscious and breathing normally. She stated her back and neck were in a lot of pain. She also had her right ear torn. Buckskin fire immediately stated rendering medical care to her.
  At this time I spoke with the operator of the vessel that Injured1 was on later identified as Operator1. Operator1 stated he was Injured1's husband and was operating his vessel and reduced his speed to enter the South entrance of the Keys. Upon him reducing his speed his friend later identified as Operator2 drove his vessel on top of his. Operator2 (operator) and PassengerV2 (passenger) were following Operator1 and Injured1 in the vessel. Operator2 and PassengerV2 were on scene I then spoke with them.
  Operator2 stated he was following his friend Operator1 and Injured1. He was focused on boat that was close to his left and right side. He then said that his friend Operator1 in the vessel in front of his slowed down and he attempted to slow down but could not do so in time to avoid collision. He stated he was travel about 15 MPH during the impact and his boat drove right up on top of Operator1's Boat. After the collision Operator1 and Operator2 noticed that Injured1 was trapped in between the two vessels and they were able to push Operator2's boat off Operator1’s boat and get Injured1 to the back patio of the house where we were.  
  I spoke with other people in the area that had witness the boating accident who all stated the same as Operator2. Everyone involved in the crash with the exception of Injured1 was uninjured. Injured1 was later transported by air to West Valley Hospital in Buckeye AZ and received surgery on her ears and was treated for nerve damage in her neck, and arm and torn ligaments in her neck.
  Operator1’s vessel was upside down and had sunk partially after the collision. Marks Towing salvaged the vessel and it was transported to Marks Towing Storage Yard. Operator2's Vessel was still in good working order and was taking back and placed on its trailer at space #xx Emerald Cove CA. where all subjects involved had been staying.
  HGN was conducted on both operators of the vessel's which both had 0 clues for signs of impairment.
  Photos of scene and vessels were taken and later placed in La Paz County Evidence.
  Operator1 and Injured1were issued victim rights form #xxxxxx and #xxxxxxx
  Operator2 received a citation for ARS 5-341A Reckless/Negligent Operation of a Vessel.
