REPORT TAKEN FROM STATE POLICE OFFICER 

On Saturday, May 27, 2023, at approximately 1:26 PM, I, State Park Police Officer was at Lake Corpus Christi State Park Headquarters notifying state park staff of a missing child when I received a call to my state issued cellular phone from San Patricio County Sheriff’s Deputy. Deputy, who was working boat patrol detail at Lake Corpus Christi State Park reported a boating accident located at Cave Swallow Cove day use swimming area. I immediately contacted local Game Wardens to advise of the situation.

At approximately 1:35 PM, I arrived on scene and observed two PWCs beached along the shoreline of Cave Swallow Cove. When questioning the involving party, I spoke with a male subject who identified. He stated he rear-ended his parents  who happened to be occupying the PWC in the lead while he was following behind them in a no wake zone at headway speed approximately 20-30 yards from the shoreline. O1 stated his parents were at headway speed and came to an abrupt stop when a hat was dropped into the water causing O1 to collide into the rear-end of the PWC, grazing his mother in the right-side portion of her back with the nose of the PWC O1 was operating. The operator of the lead PWC was O1 and his wife as the occupant. The following PWC was operated by O2 and his wife as the occupant.

At approximately 1:50 PM, Mathis EMS arrived on scene and transported Injured to Christus Spohn Hospital Corpus Christi Shoreline in Corpus Christi, TX for further evaluation due to complaints of backpain. No further injuries were reported by the involving party. There were minor scuff marks on the cleat of the PWC operated and occupant  from the collision. There were no signs of intoxication with the involving party.
