Operator of vessel #1 was boating on Duck Lake when he ran into vessel #2 (paddle boat).  Operator1 stated that just after passing by Turtle Cove, he sped up and began to turn toward the center of the Lake.  The bow lifted up slightly making it so that he didn't see vessel #2 (paddle boat) that was about 15' away.  Operator1's wife who was a passenger screamed for him to stop, but it was too late.  Operator1's wife was sitting in the front bow facing the driver at the time they hit.  

The victims from vessel #2 were transported to shore at which point they left the area to take their dog to MSU to be treated for severe injuries.  The dog was also on vessel #2 and when the vessels struck each other.

Victim from vessel #2 had a large scratch on her right bicep that was bleeding slightly and a scratch on her right rear thigh, and a scratch on her left knee.  No other injuries were reported. 

Operator of vessel #1 was arrested and cited for Reckless Operation and Failure to Display Certificate of numbers.
