RedactedNarrative: NARRATIVE:
  
  On 15 July while near Cascade Springs, the Island entrance staff called my cell phone to report a boating accident.  I did not have good reception and requested them to hang up and have the reporting party call 911.  I informed dispatch of the possible accident and requested medical to respond to the Island area of the park.
  
  A few minutes later dispatch informed me that there was a personal watercraft (jetski) versus a boat incident at the Island.  All individuals on the jetski were okay.  The involved boat checked to make sure they were okay and left to play on the lake some more.
  
  Ranger went to the Island area to get information from the reporting party and inspect their damaged jetski.  I continued to the main entrance to obtain the patrol vessel and track down the boat involved in the incident.
  
  CONTACT:
  
  Ranger was able to obtain bow numbers from the suspected vessel.  I inquired the vessel information and obtained a registered owners phone number.  At approximately 14:21 I called the male registered owner and left him a message.  At approximately 14:44 OPERATOR2 called me back and informed me he was at the main marina.  I instructed OPERATOR2 to retrieve his vessel from the water and wait for me in the main parking lot.
  
  Ranger and I made contact with OPERATOR2.  I obtained a written statement from OPERATOR2 regarding the incident.  I observed damage to the right side of his vessel.  I conducted a vessel inspection and observed no safety violations in the inspection.  
  
  INVESTIGATION:
  
  Based upon statements from all involved parties it appears that Vessel 1 (jetski) and vessel 2 (boat) were both near the Island area of the lake past the slow no wake buoys.  Vessel 1 was drifting and vessel 2 was under power.  Vessel 2 did not observe vessel 1 until it was next to it.  Vessel 2 turned left causing the right side of the boat to lift up just before impact.  The vessel 1 left handle bar gouged through the gel coat of vessel 2 as vessel 2 went over the front end of vessel 1.
  
  DAMAGES:
  
  Vessel 1 had broken plastic pieces, paint transfer and a large crack in the console framing on the left side.
  Vessel 2 had an approximately 5 foot gouge in the hull below the water line which ran from front to back consistent with vessel 2 going over the top of vessel 1 while vessel 1 was at idle.
  
  CITATION:
  
  A citation was issued to OPERATOR2, the owner and operator of vessel 2.
