Vessel #1 (V1) - 1997, 9' Yamaha Waverunner PWC 
Vessel #2 (V2) - 1997, 10' Yamaha Waveventure PWC 

On 06/05/2013, at about 3:35 p.m., two PWCs were operating on Lawrence Lake located in Thurston County near Yelm, WA. Each PWC had one operator and no passengers. V1 decided to "spray" V2, with the wake/jet stream from his PWC. V1 approached V2 at an unsafe speed and turned away within a few feet of V2. V2 also turned to avoid the jet spray. Both operators turned into one another causing the collision. 

V2 struck port side of V1. Operator2's bow struck Operator1's left leg in the calf area causing a compound fracture and uncontrolled bleeding problem for Operator1. Operator1 was ejected into the water after the impact. Operator2 jumped into the water, drug Operator1 onto his vessel (V2) and transported him to the boat ramp where medics gave aide before transporting Operator1 to St. Peter's Hospital where Operator1 has had several surgeries to repair his broken leg. 

V1 sustained scratches to the port side of the seat and console directly ahead of the seat. V2 sustained damage to the port side of the bow.
