RedactedNarrative: I spoke to Operator#2 of Vessel # 2, while inside the EMS vehicle being evaluated for her injuries.  While speaking with Operator#2 nothing of evidential value was discovered that would indicate her being intoxicated.  Operator#2 was then asked if she remember what happened at the time of the incident.  Operator#2 stated that she was following her husband through the creek heading north towards the Dredge Cove.  She stated that when she went around the bend she saw her husband go right to avoid striking another PWC that was coming towards them.  Operator#2 then stated that she attempted to go veer left at which point the other PWC struck her.  Operator#2 informed me that at the time of the incident she saw the young boy operating the PWC.  After speaking with Operator#2 she was taken to Shore Memorial Hospital for further evaluation.
  
      
  I then spoke to Witness#1.  Witness#1 stated that he was out on the PWC's with his wife Witness#2, Operator#2, and Operator#2's Fiancé, Witness#3.  After spending the day on the water Witness#1 stated that they were heading back to the Patcong Creek.  Witness#1 stated that both were ahead of them at least 50 to 60 yards when they entered the Creek.  Witness#1 stated that once he passed the no wake barrels in front of the old Gateway Marine he started to get up on plane when he came upon the accident scene.  Witness#1 stated that when he pulled up he saw a guy on a boat assisting one of the two victims.  Witness#1 then stated that he rode over to where the other victim was and noticed that he was a young boy.  Witness#1 then stated that a guy who was on another PWC jumped into the water and grabbed the boy.  The boy was then placed onto Witness#1's PWC and taken over to a pontoon boat that had the rest of the victim’s family.  Witness#1 also stated that he noticed that the young boy had the lanyard on his life vest to the PWC.  Witness#1 then advised me that he then helped tow Operator#2's PWC to the Waterway Marina. 
  
  I then spoke with Witness#3. It should be noted that Witness#3 is the fiancé of Operator#2.  When speaking with Witness#3, he stated that he was about 20 yards in front of Operator#2 when they passed the old Gateway Marina.  Once he passed the marina Witness#3 stated that there is a sharp left bend.  Witness#3 stated that once he went around the bend there was a PWC traveling in the opposite direction heading straight for him.  Witness#3 stated that he quickly veered right to avoid colliding with the other PWC.  Witness#3 stated that after avoiding the accident he looked back and realized that the other PWC and Operator#2's PWC had collided.  Witness#3 also stated that he noticed that a young boy was operating the other PWC, and that he was having a problem navigating through the creek meaning that he did not know which way to steer the vessel.
  
  Investigation revealed : Vessel # 1 was being operated by Operator#1 and Passenger#1 traveling south bound in the Patcong Creek.  Operator#1 who was at the time of the crash sitting at the helm of the PWC with Passenger#1 sitting behind him.  It should be noted that neither Operator#1 nor Passenger#1 have Boaters Safety Certificates (BSC).  Vessel # 2 was being operated by Operator#2.  V2 was traveling north bound in the Patcong Creek.  Due to unknown circumstances at this time, both vessels collided head on.  Both Operator#1 and Passenger#1 were ejected from Vessel # 1 into the water.
