On 07/04/2023 I, Texas Game Warden, was contacted by the MCSO’s dispatch stating that two jet skis had collided on lake Colorado City in Mitchell County, Texas. I then contacted Game Wardens to respond to the accident due to me being out of the county. 

Additional information later received confirmed that a 12-year-old female had been severely injured. 

After interviewing multiple witnesses, it was found out that vessel 2 was allegedly ridden by two occupants (1 adult male 1 juvenile female) vessel 1 had only a single occupant (juvenile 12-year-old female). Witnesses stated that Vessel 2 made a wide turn before accelerating toward vessel 1 and impacting the port side of vessel 1 with the bow of the vessel at a high speed. This collision caused vessel 2 to fully override vessel 1 and become airborne.  All occupants of both vessels were thrown off. All occupants were wearing life jackets at the time of the vessel accident. 

Vessel 2 was allegedly driven and a 7-year-old female juvenile. Vessel 1 was driven by the 12-year-old juvenile who was injured. O2 later stated that the female juvenile grabbed the throttle and that was the cause of the accident.

Vessel 1 was severally damaged at the midsection and engine compartment. Vessel 2 had damage to its bow and hull.

This accident is still under investigation.
