V1 while cruising out of the slow speed zone at the end of the jetty on the gulf side of John's Pass, accelerated his ski at a high rate of speed while turning to the north. 

V2 were just ahead of V1 and on their left. V2 also accelerated and began making a sharp right hand turn just after the jetty. V1 realized he was going too fast and was about to collide with V2, so he attempted to turn right and slow down. Operator1, however, operating V1 let off the throttle completely while going about 20 mph and as a result lost the ability to steer his vessel away from V2. 

As a result of  V1 losing the ability to control his vessel, his port bow hit V2 on V2's bow area causing a significant impact which ejected the operators and the passengers of both vessels. 

None of the operators or the passengers were injured in the collision and they all returned safely to the livery after being assisted back on the ski's with the help of some of the other members in the group.
