RedactedNarrative: V2, an imitation paddlewheel commercial vessel, was traveling upstream mid river on the Colorado River, in Laughlin Nevada, near the Riverside Casino. V1, a PWC, was traveling upstream on the starboard side of V2. A second PWC was traveling with V1 and cut in front of the bow of V2 attempting to exit river right. V1 followed, turning a near 180 degrees crossing in front of and facing V2. V1 continued until colliding into the bow of V2. The bow on the starboard side of V1 struck the bow on the starboard side of V2. The operator of V1 was ejected to the starboard side of V2 and briefly went underneath V2 before surfacing midship on the starboard side. V1 bounced to the starboard side of V2, while continuing to strike V2 down the starboard side of V1. V1 and its operator floated downstream and received assistance from multiple entities before exiting river right. V2 turned to the starboard direction so as to not strike the operator of V1 with the propellers. They prepared to assist the operator of V1 if required, which was not. V2 continued upstream on its commercial tour.
