On 6-14-2013, Vessel #1 was headed upstream on Tellico Lake in Loudon County.  The operator made a right hand turn and collided with Vessel #2 that was in the process of overtaking him.  The operator of Vessel #2 had reacted making a hard right hand turn but was unable to avoid colliding with the other vessel.  The operator of Vessel #2 was ejected making contact with likely the gunwhale of his vessel and breaking his knee in the process.  Vessel #2 continued on toward the right hand  (ascending) bank with the occupant stopping the vessel before any additional contact was made.  The operator of Vessel #2 was picked up by a following vessel that placed him back in his.  The injured operator of Vessel #1 was placed on another PWC (his brother) and returned to the dock they departed from which was right around the corner.  The brother of the injured operator of Vessel #1 returned to the scene to advise Vessel #2 that they could meet to exchange information at their family''s dock which was right around the corner from the accident.  The operator of Vessel #2 headed passed the dock and never stopped to make contact with the other party.  

Neither party made an attempt to contact emergency services untill later in the evening when the party associated with Vessel #1 was at the UTMCER and became aware that the party from Vessel #2 were also at the same ER.  

I was contacted by Loudon County E-911 approximately 5 hours after the incident, myself and other officers responded to the ER and to the house of Vessel #1.
