Both vessels were headed toward each other, the operators intended to turn at the last second, but neither did resulting in a collision.  V1 made contact with V2 on the port side above the rub rail causing V1 to go on top of V2.  As V1 traveled on top of V2, the jet nozzle of V1 struck the victim in the left leg resulting in multiple injuries.  The impact of V1's jet nozzle was with such force that it broke the nozzle completely off, disabling the steering.
