About 8:55pm on June 10, 2010 a 20’7” stratus, traveling at approximately 40-45 mph collided with a 20’3” skeeter, traveling approximately 55-60mph. According to the damage documented it is believed that the bow of the stratos struck the port side of skeeter just in front of the passenger’s seat. Operator1 said he was turning to the left when the accident occurred.  It is believed that Operator2 was in a sharp turn to the right when the accident happened. After initial contact the boats immediately turned away from each other resulting in a secondary impact. The starboard side of the stratus near the stern impacted the motor of the skeeter. This resulted in both motors coming off the boats. A total of four persons were involved in this accident, two in each boat. The operator of Vessel 1, was ejected. All persons involved sustained injuries. The two on V1 were treated and released from a local hospital. Operator2 and his occupant were admitted to a hospital and due to blunt force trauma to the head of both individuals, they remain in the hospitals care.
