Vessel 1 was underway, headed north on the Sandusky River approaching the curve at Muncie Hollow, when the Operator of Vessel 1 observed another vessel in the area at anchor.  The Operator of Vessel 1 slowed and had almost come to a stop when Vessel 2, who was following Vessel 1 and had failed to see Vessel 1 slowing, struck Vessel 1 in the stern with the bow of Vessel 2.  The force of the collision resulted in all parties aboard Vessel 1 and Vessel 2 being thrown into the water; Vessel 1 and Vessel 2 also capsized before returning to an upright position.
