Two boats were headed across the lake one following the other (known as vessel 2 and 3).  Two PWC (known as vessel 1 and 4) began making circles around the two boats and jumping the wake of vessel 2.  Vessel 2 was in the lead.  Vessel 3 slowed and came to a stop so vessel 2 turned around and headed back to see if they needed assistance.  When vessel 2 witnessed vessel 3 start moving again, it turned back around and started back on its original course.  This is when vessel 1 approached at a high rate of speed from the port side.  The operator of vessel 2 was able to get the engine in neutral before vessel1 struck the bow on the port side.  The operator of vessel 1 flew off the PWC going air born over the bow and center console of vessel 2 before striking the motor on the rear of the boat which broke the cover of the motor.  Operator1 attempted to hold on to the motor but was unable to and ended up in the water under the motor.  Vessel 1 penetrated the port side hull of vessel 2 which began to sink.  The operator of vessel 2 and passenger assisted Operator1 into their vessel and took him to shore before their boat sank.  An ambulance and Halo flight were called and even though it appeared Operator1 had an injury to his leg/hip, he refused all treatment and left on his own.  Operator1 (operator of vessel1) was issued a citation for Reckless or Negligent Operation. End of report
