RedactedNarrative: The following accident occurred on August 16, 2011, at approximately 1727 hours.
  
  Four young men were out operating two skicraft at the time of the accident. The operator of Vessel I was driving in a southerly direction at approximately 20 miles per hour when he saw Vessel II operating in a northerly direction at approximately 6 miles per hour. It seems that neither operator could figure out where the other was heading.  When the operator of Vessel I realized that Vessel II was in his line of travel, he tried to avoid a collision by slowing down and turning hard to the port side, but his vessel collided with the left side of the bow of Vessel II. All of the occupants of both vessels fell into the water. Both occupants of Vessel I were sore but did not need medical attention. The operator of Vessel II recieved a stitch in his left elbow, and had a contusion on his rib as well as a bruised shoulder. The passenger of Vessel II had a 1.5" laceration on his left forearm and three deep lacerations on his elbow that were approximately one inch long. He was also experiencing abdominal pain but X-rays did not reveal any further injury.
