RedactedNarrative: On the morning of 07/19/2022 at approximately 10:30 am a two vessel property damage only collision occurred on Douglas Lake in Jefferson County.  Operator1 was operating a 2007 Yamaha VX Cruiser PWC, Vessel 1.  Operator2 was at the controls of a 24'' Bentley Pontoon, Vessel 2.  Operator1 was traveling downstream of PT 19.  Operator1 stated he was traveling approximately 30 mph and was headed toward the rest of his family who were in Vessel 2.  Vessel 2 was adrift without engine running.  Operator1 stated he was approaching the rear of vessel 2 and made a hard left hand turn at the rear port corner.  He advised the PWC slid and impacted the port side corner at rear of Vessel 2.  Vessel 1 immediately started taking on water and was pulled to shore.
  	Vessel 1 sustained a puncture to hull on starboard side of water intake.  The puncture was approximately 8" wide by 12" long parallelling water intake grate.  Vessel 2 had crushing to rear port corner of decking and lower railing.  The edge banding and rub rail were also ripped from impacted corner.  Impact dented rear of port pontoon and lower railing pushed fixed gas tank forward into interior of vessel.
   *** On the morning of 07/20/2022, I contacted ADA by telephone.  We discussed the collision and potential charge of reckless operation of personal watercraft on operator of Vessel 1.  ADA advised that the State would not pursue criminal charge of reckless operation against Operator1, if restitutions for damages were being paid and due to lack of third party witness.
