Vessel 1 was recreating on the western section of the Biron Flowage in Wood County when they started heading east towards the North side of the Flowage.  Boat 2 left a on the south shore of the flowage and were heading east in the main channel of the flowage to go to a friends cottage upstream on the flowage.  The operator of Vessel 2 was traveling about 5 mph east and heard a motorboat approaching and observed Vessel 1 traveling at a high rate of speed directly toward the back of Vessel 2.  The operator of Vessel 2 shouted and waved his arms.  Vessel 1  maintained its course and speed and struck Vessel 2's outboard motor bending the motor and transom to the port side of Vessel 2.  Vessel 1 traveled over the stern of Vessel 2 and up and over the console section of Vessel 2, about half way up on the starboard side of Vessel 2.  Vessel 1 landed in the water off of Vessel 's starboard side.  After a short while Vessel 1 continued traveling east where it got hung up on a sandbar.  The Portage Co Sheriff's Dept responded and transported an injured occupant from Vessel 1 to Ole River Rd.  Vessel 2 was inoperable and drifted down stream to the west until it got hung up on a sandbar.  Vessel 2 contacted another boat who pulled them off the sandbar and to their dock.
