The following is a description of a boating accident that occurred on July 3, 2009, at approximately 1955 hours.

The operators of Vessel 1 and Vessel 2 were engaging in horseplay on the lake, zig-zagging around and playing 'chicken'.  They were operating at speeds around 30 miles per hour.  At one point, each operator drove his vessel head-on toward the other.  The operator of Vessel 2 attempted to veer to the right at the last minute; however, the operator of Vessel 1 lost eye contact with him and hit the port side and bow of Vessel 2 with the bow of Vessel 1.  The operator of Vessel 2 was ejected from the watercraft and apparently lost consciousness, as he was seen floating face down in the water.  The operator of Vessel 1 jumped into the water to aid the injured party, who had suffered a severe laceration on his face.  Passing boats arrived and removed the injured party from the water, at which point EMS and Marine Patrol arrived.
