Operator 1 stated to me that Operator 2 (his girlfriend) had limited experience operating a jet ski.  He stated to me that he was almost stopped on the lake and she was traveling toward him.  She tried to turn to the right but could not avoid Vessel 1.  The two jet skis side swiped and she sustained broken ribs, a bleeding spleen and a punctured lung.  Neither operator was thrown from their respective jet skis.
 
I did not go to the scene so I do not know if alcohol was involved.
