On 7/28/13 at or around 1133 hours, Vessel #1 was being operated at Canyon Lake near Laguna Beach.  While making a turn on the PWC, Operator1 was ejected from the PWC into the water.  Vessel #2 was trailing Vessel #1 at the time when Vessel #1 crossed over into Vessel #2''s path according to the Operator of Vessel #2.  The operator of Vessel #2 saw the PWC on the water, but did not immediately see the ejected operator until the last second when his PWC crossed by Vessel #1.  Operator2 stated he heard a "bump" from underneath his PWC (bow to mid aft area) just after seeing the operator in the water directly in front of the bow of the PWC.  Operator2 stated he was traveling between 20 to 30 miles per hour at the time.  The operator of Vessel #1 was found in the water unconcious and not breathing according to Operator2 and another witness on a pontoon boat.  CPR was administered at the gas dock prior to Deputies arriving on scene.  The operator of Vessel #1 was transported to Scottsdale Osborn Hospital by helicopter for further medical treatment by Air Evac 4.  Based on follow-up investigation, It appears both operators were consuming alcohol at the lake.
