Vessel 1 and Vessel 2 were both travelling upstream, approximately 50 yards north of the East River Boat Ramp Area, with both proceeding in a northerly direction roughly parallel with each other with Vessel 1 to the port side of Vessel 2.  While accelerating in an attempt to clear the motor, the Operator of Vessel 2 made a sharp turn to port and into the path of Vessel 1.   Vessel 1 was unsuccessful in avoiding the ensuing collision and struck Vessel 2 on the port side of Vessel 2 in the mid-seat/steering area.  As a result of the collision, the Operator of Vessel 2 was ejected from the craft into the river and suffered injury to his lower left leg.  The Operator of Vessel 1 was not injured.
