OPERATOR OF VESSEL TWO WAS GOING ALONG THE NORTHWEST SHORE AS VESSEL ONE APPROCHED HIM FROM THE RIGHT SIDE AND JUST TO THE REAR. VESSEL ONE OPERATOR'S SPEED WAS MUCH TOo EXCESSIVE TO BE OPERATING AS CLOSE AS HE WAS TO ANOTHER VESSEL AND HIS REACTION TIME WOULD NOT ALLOW HIM TIME TO AVOID CONTACT WITH THE VESSEL TWO.  VESSEL ONE STRUCK VESSEL TWO AT A SLIGHT ANGLE FROM THE RIGHT SIDE AND TRAVELED ACROSS THE FRONT OF VESSEL TWO, EJECTING BOTH OPERATOR'S FROM THIER VESSELS.  THE HADLEBARS FROM VESSEL ONE'S LEFT SIDE STRUCK VESSEL TWO'S OPERATOR ON THE RIGHT SIDE CAUSING INTERNAL INJURIES. VESSEL TWO OPERATOR WAS TRANSPORTED TO RUSSELL COUNTY FOR TREATMENT AND THEN TO UK MED CENTER FOR SURGERY VIA STAT FLIGHT. PFD'S WHERE BEING WORN BY BOTH OPERATORS AND NO ALCOHOL WAS PRESENT.
