According to statements given by occupants of V2 and lone occupant of V1, both vessels were travelling in same general direction. Apparently, neither operator was aware of proximity to other vessel. Vessels collided (V1 starboard side to V2 port side) and operator of V1 was thrown off of PWC into the water. One occupant of V2 was lying on seat at stern of V2 and was thrown off of V2, striking her head on some portion of V2. Both subjects were rescued from water by occupants of V2 and taken to shore, awaiting arrival of EMS and TWRA. Vessel priority has not been assigned since it has not been determined which vessel was stand-on and which vessel give-way. Case has been reviewed by Asst. District Attorney Strong and, presently, no charges filed. BAC levels were taken from both vessel operators and any charges resulting from these are pending results from TBI lab.
