RedactedNarrative: Operator1 was operating a white 1995 Yamaha WVT 700 personal watercraft on Crooked Lake.  She was operating it at a high rate of speed towards the sandbar in the first basin where there were many boats anchored.  Operator1 stated she realized she was too close to the white 2006 Correct Craft Air 210.  She stated she tried to slow down but realized it did not have brakes.  She then let off of the throttle and tried to turn but realized that did not work either.  She stated she then pulled the kill switch out of the ignition hoping that would stop the personal watercraft but it did not.  Operator1 stated that subject was a passenger on her boat and just before they collided into the Correct Craft they both leaned to the right causing the port side of the personal watercraft to collide with the starboard side of the Correct Craft near the steering column.  
  
  Operator1 stated she had minor pain and bruising to the inside part of her thigh on her right leg.  She refused medical attention multiple times.  I interviewed Operator1 and she also wrote out a voluntary statement.  Upon talking to her I noticed an odor of an alcoholic beverage.  Operator1 stated she had consumed a couple of drinks from her friend’s “fruity” alcoholic beverage after the accident.  She agreed to take a portable breath test and she tested positive for an alcoholic beverage at 0.058% BAC.  I could not locate any witnesses to confirm or contradict her statement about when she had consumed the alcoholic beverage.
  
  	 I spoke with Occupant and she stated she had an abrasion to her lower left leg and was not sure if it was broken or not.  She refused medical attention multiple times and stated that she was going to be transported to a hospital in Fort Wayne by a friend for insurance reasons.  She also stated her elbow was bruised on her left arm.  Occupant stated that Operator1 was operating the personal watercraft too fast as she approached the sandbar and could not get it stopped in time to avoid the collision with the other boat.  Occupant stated they leaned to the right just before the collision and the port side of the personal watercraft collided into the starboard side of the boat.  Occupant was not sure if her leg got between the two boats or not.  I called her a few days after the accident to check on her injuries and was unable to make contact with her but I left a message.  On 09-02-14 she called Steuben County Dispatch and left a message for me.  I called her back and she stated she was diagnosed with abrasions but had a large hematoma on her calf of her left leg and needed to see an ortho for a follow up appointment.
  
  	 I spoke with the owner of the Yamaha personal watercraft, at the scene.  He provided the information for his boat and stated the two females had permission to use his boat.  He stated his boat was old and already had some damage on it and that he could not determine the old damage from the new.  There was new damage to the port side of the personal watercraft.
  
  	 Cpl. was at the scene and spoke with the owner of the Correct Craft.  Owner stated his boat was anchored at the sandbar and stated he did not actually see the accident but seen his boat rocking back and forth after the personal watercraft hit it.  There was damage to the outside of the boat on the starboard side along with damage on the inside of the boat around the steering column and dashboard.
  	 
  	 Operator1 was cited for Imprudent Operation of a Motorboat, a class C infraction.
  	 Photographs were taken at the scene.
