Both Operators/Victims involved in the accident reported that they didn't remember much regarding the incident.  The Operator of Vessel 1 did indicate that he and the Operator of Vessel 2 were jumping waves from another vessel (in close proximity to each other) when water splashed into his face (Vessel 1 Operator) and he did not see Vessel 2 resulting in the collision.   The Operator of Vessel 2 reported that he was ejected from Vessel 2 as a result of the collision and may have been temporarily unconscious as he found himself choking on water as he regained consciousness.

The Operator of Vessel 1 did not suffer any significant injuries; the Operator of Vessel 2 received nine staples in the back left side of his head.  No damages were reported to Vessel 1 or Vessel 2.

Investigator's Report indicates that the Operator of Vessel 1 was using alcohol prior to the accident, although it was not on board Vessel 1.
