On 07/03/23 at approximately 1455 hrs, I responded to the south beach of
Community Park, 1251 HWY 95, BHC, Mohave County, AZ for a PWC collision. I observed two PWC, a white Honda and a blue Yamaha, to be beached in the area. I made contact with an adult male, V2 Operator (verbal), who stated he was operating V2. I asked if any needed medical attention. V2 Operator stated his passenger, V2 Passenger, may have hurt his wrist and requested medical attention for him. I notified dispatch and had BHCFD respond. V2 Passenger was evaluated and further treatment was declined. I asked V2 Operator what had occurred. V2 Operator told me he and V2 Passenger were traveling south on the Colorado River, on the west side of the river, when a blue PWC, V1, was traveling north on the west side of the river. V2 Operator stated as V1 got closer; the operator lost control of the PWC and turned left in front of him.
V2 Operator stated he was unable to avoid the PWC and the front of his PWC collided with the right rear of V1. 

I made contact with the two subjects, V1 Operator (Verbal) and V1 Passenger (Verbal). V1 Operator stated he was operating the Yamaha. I asked if either V1 Operator or V1 Passenger needed medical attention. Both declined. 

I asked V1 Operator what had occurred. V1 Operator stated he was operating V1, traveling north on the west side of the Colorado River, when he observed 4 PWCs traveling towards him. V1 Operator stated as the PWCs past him, he lost control due to the wake made by the passing PWCs. V1 Operator stated V1 turned left, facing the west coast of the river. As his PWC was sideways, it was struck by V2. I checked both PWCs and observed damage to the right rear side of V1 and damage to the nose of V2. Photographs of both PWCs were taken and later uploaded to evidence.com.
