RedactedNarrative: On 02-19-22 at approximately 1343 hours, I responded to Body Beach On Lake Havasu in reference to an injury crash which involved 2 personal watercrafts (PWC). The operator of vessel 1 was following closely behind the operator of vessel 2 on the unrestricted buoy course. 
  
  Operator1 was attempting to make a pass on Operator2 in one of the corners. Operator2 slid out and fell off his PWC. Operator1 was following too close behind Operator2 and was unable to turn out of the way in time. 
  
  Operator1 struck Operator2 in the back with his PWC causing Operator2 bodily harm. Operator2 was brought to shore by bystanders and then transported to Havasu Regional Medical Center with major injuries. There was no observed damage to either PWC. Alcohol was not a factor in this crash. Both operators denied that they were racing on the buoy course. 
  
  
  Operator1 was issued a citation ARS 5-343 Speed not controlled to avoid an accident.
