RedactedNarrative: On June 6, 2014 a group of 10 people rented a PWC, vessel #1 and a pontoon houseboat, vessel #2 from Aramark Corporation at Zephyr Cove, Lake Tahoe.  
  
  Operator1 stated that while operating V-1 he swerved to avoid colliding with an unidentified PWC.  The evasive action he took, a u-turn to the left, caused him to strike V-2 with the starboard side of the PWC in the port side bow area of V-2.
  
  Officers of the South Lake Tahoe Police Department responded and investigated.  When they arrived, Operator1 had already been taken by private vehicle to Barton Memorial Hospital.  The occupants of V-2 gave conflicting oral statements.
  
  The most plausible explanation of the accident is that Operator1 was attempting to ''splash'' occupants on V-2.  Although he claimed over 100 hours of experience in PWC operation, he misjudged the closing rate of the vessels and collided with V-2.  He was thrown from V-1 and his injuries were sustained when he hit the structure of V-2.  His injuries, bruised ribs on his right torso, broken nose, a concussion and stitches to his left hand are consistant with V-1 colliding with V-2 as described.
  
  Occupants of V-2 pulled him onto V-2.  They secured V-1 and towed it back to Zephyr Cove Marina.
  
  Officers completed a diagram of the accident and can be found in attachments.
  
  Although I contacted the operators of both vessels, neither has completed a statement.
