RedactedNarrative: On September 2, 2022 at approximately 1330, two rented personal watercrafts collided in the Roanoke Sound near Nags Head, NC.  Vessel #1 was a 10'' Yamaha PWC owned by Barrier Island, rented from Kitty Hawk Watersports and operated by a female (Operator #1). 
  
  At the time of the incident Vessel #1 was not under power but drifting.  Vessel #2 was a 10' Yamaha PWC owned  and rented from Kitty Hawk Watersports and operated by a male (Operator #2).  
  
  Vessel #2 was approaching Vessel #1 at less than 10 mph when the operator panicked due to inexperience and pushed the throttle.  The sudden surge in throttle caused Vessel #2 to collide with the Port side of Vessel #1, override the gunwale and strike the Operator #1 in the left leg.  Both operators were able to return to Kitty Hawk Watersports.  Operator #1's leg began to swell and bruise.  She sought medical attention at OBX Hospital where it was determined she had a broken left fibula. She was treated and released. The cause of this incident was operator inexperience and operating too close to other vessels.  Drugs and Alcohol did not play a role in this incident.  No Charges were filed in this incident.
