V2 traveled directly towards v1. Operator 1 was unable to observe v2 traveling directly towards him due to v2 failing to display bow navigation lights. Upon observing v2, operator 1 activated v1's emergency lights. V2 turned and traveled directly into the path of v1. Operator 1 voluntarily exited v1 at impact. The bow of v1 struck the starboard bow of v2, just in front of the operators position. V1 continued to travel toward the center of v2. The forward momentum of each vessel caused the bow of v1 to be deflected towards its starboard, and the bow of v2 to be deflected slightly towards its port. A secondary impact occurred between the port stern of v1 and the starboard stern of v2. After impact v2 continued to travel an unknown distance and flooded and capsized, the occupants left v2 voluntarily. V1 began to travel in clockwise circles at 10 miles per hour around the victim in the water. The collision of v1 and v2 caused the injuries to all party's and the damage to both vessels.
