RedactedNarrative: SYNOPSIS:
  I was called to a boating accident involving two rental PWC's.  One of the PWC's had t-boned another PWC causing injuries to the operator and passenger.  Both had sustained leg and abdominal injuries and were transported to the hospital.
  
  NARRATIVE:
  I was contacted by seasonal employees working in the office at Sand Hollow State Park.  I was told the The Beach at Sand Hollow had called and said that someone had broken their leg on the south beach.  I notified dispatch and requested medical to respond.
  
  Arriving on scene, I pulled down onto the south boat ramp and saw a female lying on a paddle board.  I could see obvious injuries to her left leg.  The female was identified as V1 OCCUPANT.  She had a 4-5 inch laceration below her left knee and a possible broken hip, tibia, and fibula.
  I then was told that there was a second person that was injured.  He was on the back of a PWC over near the dock.  V1 OCCUPANT was being worked on by an off duty fire chief from Davis County Metro Fire.
  
  I left V1 OCCUPANT and ran over to help get the other injured male off the back of the PWC.  We used a paddle board to move him from the water to shore.  He was identified as OPERATOR1.  We carried him on the paddle board and laid him next to V1 OCCUPANT and fire chief began to work on him.  OPERATOR1's injuries were identical to V1 OCCUPANT.  He had multiple lacerations to his left upper thigh and the top of his foot.  He also had a possible broken hip, tibia, fibula, and lower abdomen bruising.
  I updated dispatch with the information and changed the call to a boating accident. Hurricane Valley Fire and REscue arrived and transported both V1 OCCUPANT and OPERATOR1 to Dixie Regional Medical Center for treatment.
  
  INVESTIGATION:
  Before V1 OCCUPANT and OPERATOR1 were transported to the hospital, I asked them what happened.  OPERATOR1 and group of friends rented 3 personal water crafts from The Beach at Sand Hollow.  OPERATOR1 and his girlfriend V1 OCCUPANT were at the north end of the reservoir, when they were hit by one of their friends, OPERATOR2.  OPERATOR2 hit them on their left legs and abdomen with the nose of the PWC.
  
  I found OPERATOR2 and asked him what had happened.  Operator2 explained that he was on about a 90 degree angle facing V1 OCCUPANT and OPERATOR1 at a distance of approximately 20-30 feet, when he tried to turn away from them.  During the turn, he did not turn sharp enough, accelerated too fast and did not let off the throttle.  He said that he was only going about 10 MPH when he hit them.  His inexperience in operating a PWC played a factor in the accident.
  
  Both V1 OCCUPANT and Operator1 were transported by ambulance to Dixie Regional Medical Center for treatment.  Both PWC's were returned to The Beach at Sand Hollow.
  
  DAMAGE TO VESSEL 1:
  The vessel had damage to the portside fiberglass gunnel and hull.  The impact caused a foot long break in the fiberglass hull in the middle of the vessel on the gunnel above the waterline.  There was also damage to the vessel's steering column, handle bars, instrument cluster, plastic covering, and seat.
  
  DAMAGE TO VESSEL 2:
  The vessel has damaged to its fiberglass hull on the underside of the vessel bow where it struck the other vessel.  The impact broke a hole into the fiberglass several inches long.  The impact also broke off the portside plastic covering the nose of the vessel.
