Vessel 1 had gone out onto Lake Erie, past the Cleveland Breakwall, then turned southbound back toward the main entrance.  Vessel 1 cleared the main light, then struck the spur on the east side of the main entrance (147 yards east of the light at the end of the spur).  The force of the collision caused one Victim to be thrown onto the breakwall rocks, while a second Victim was ejected into the water.  The Victim on the breakwall rocks was then able to assist the Victim in the water onto the rocks as well.  The first Victim (ejected onto the breakwall) was able to use a cell phone to call for assistance.  Coast Guard Vessel 25735 responded to the scene and transported the Victims to the Edgewater Launch Ramp where Emergency Services transported the Victims to MetroHealth Hospital.  Vessel 1 was towed to the Edgewater Ramp, pulled from the water, and transported to the Cleveland Coast Guard Station.
