Vessels #1 and #2, both 9' PWCs were traveling south near the south end of Long Lake when they collided.

Operator of Vessel #1 stated she was not sure what happened.

Operator of Vessel #2  stated he made a hard left turn in front of Vessel #1 and was hit from behind.

Statement from Operator of Vessel #2 implies that he was operating Vessel #1.

Investigators suspect that they were given incorrect information.   

Based on physical evidence on both vessels and the injuries sustained by the operator of Vessel #1 it is more likely than not that she was operating Vessel #1 and Operator of Vessel #2 was operating Vessel #2.  

Vessel #1 sustained damage to the back of the seat and seat handle.  Vessel #2 had red color transfer on its bottom matching the color of vessel #1 seat.  Vessel #2 also had a black scuff on the starboard side of the hull consistent with the left handle/grip of vessel #1.  The evidence suggests that Vessel #1 was struck from behind by Vessel #2.
