RedactedNarrative: On 6/6/20 CPOs were notified of a boat accident involving a PWC and a bass boat occurring on Rend Lake, South Marcum Cove.
  
   Information was gathered from the operator of Vessel #1 (PWC), operator and passenger of Vessel #2 (Bass Boat), and two other PWC operators who witnessed the accident.  
  
  Operator of Vessel #1 was doing doughnuts on the "wake" side of the no-wake bouys.  As Vessel #1 was doing doughnuts another PWC came within close proximity and Vessel #1 turned to avoid collision. 
  
   When Vessel #1 turned he hit a wave and his vision was obscured, this is when Vessel #1 saw vessel #2 and attempted to turn while throttling down. 
  
  Vessel #2 was traveling out of the no-wake area and was traveling at a low rate of speed causing their bow to rise and obscure their vision.  Upon Vessel #2 seeing Vessel #1 they throttled down and turned portside to avoid a collision.  
  
  The Port bow side of Vessel #1 struck the Starboard bow side of Vessel #2. Upon impact the operator of Vessel #1 was ejected from the PWC landing in the water face first and unconscious.  Vessel #2 still turning port to avoid the operator of Vessel #1 struck the Aft Port side of Vessel #1 with its skeg and propeller.  
  
  The operator of Vessel #2 with the help of another PWC in the area extracted the operator of Vessel #1 from the water and brought him to the South Marcum Boat Ramp.
  
  Vessel #1 had impact damage on the Port bow side just stern of the bow bumber.  Loss of paint and fiberglass extended along and above the rub rail from the Port bow side for approximately two feet.  On the Port side there was a slicing impact point below the rub rail along the chine, aft of that there diagonal slices below a impact area.
  
  Vessel #2 had scuff marks from impact on the Starboard bow side that extended aft along the chine of the boat.  Next visible marks were on the lower unit of the out board where there was noticeable paint/fiberglass transfer.  The propeller had paint transfer on it as well.
  
  Operator of Vessel #1 was flown to the Emergency Room for head injuries and was released later that night.
  
  Operator and Passenger of Vessel #2 received no injuries.
