RedactedNarrative: On July 13, 2019 at approximately 1604 hours a personal watercraft rental with bow (V1) was traveling north at approximately 10 MPH on the Colorado River up current in center channel. V1 had two female adults on board. A pontoon vessel with bow (V2) with four on board was drifting south with the river''s current as they prepared to trailer it. V2''s bow was pointed south, down river and was on the west side of the river following the navigational rules. 
  
  V1 wanted to turn left (west) to enter the lagoon area near the Avi Casino. V1 was the give-way vessel. V2 was the stand-on vessel. V1 did not give way. V1 turned left in front of the path of V2. V1 stuck V2''s starboard pontoon''s bow with the starboard bow of V1. No one was injured. Everyone remained on board. 
  
  The damage on V1 consisted of a crack on the starboard bow below the rub rail in the fiber glass and gel coat. Approximately 1 square foot of damage. V1 also had approximately 10 inches of damage along the starboard bow rub rail. 
  
  The damage on V2 was isolated to the starboard pontoon''s bow. Approximately 6 inches of the aluminum bow tip was bent sideways. Two feet further back along the outside of the pontoon was a shallow dent.
  
  During the investigation, the occupants on V1 claimed subject2 was the operator and that subject1 was the rear passenger. They said they tried to avoid V2 by turning right but were unable to because of a large wave. Subject1 admitted to drinking alcohol earlier that day. Subject1 was asked to perform standardized field sobriety tests (SFSTs). Subject1 did not show enough clues on SFSTs to be under the influence. A preliminary breath test (PBT) was not taken. 
  
  The occupants on V2 claimed Subject1 was the operator and that she was looking at V2 before turning left. Video surveillance footage from the Avi Casino showed Subject1 was the operator during the time of the collision. The video did not show any apparent large waves preventing V1 from turning right. 
  
  Subject1 was cited for NRS 197.190 - Obstructing a public officer, NRS 488.295 / NAC 488.350-Not being on the rental agreement, and NRS 488.540 / NAC 488.430-Not taking action to avoid collision.
