V-1 and V-2 were traveling north in the Banana River. V-1 sped up to get to the front of the group of PWC's.
V-1 approched V-2 from a 45* angle at too high rate of speed and struck V-2 at the bow with it's starboard side causing damage to both vessels.

Operator of vessel 1 was driving northwest on the Banana River west of the ICW  with three other jet skis when it started to rain. Op1 was at the back of the pack and he stated he swung out wide to catch up to the front. He was traveling at an approximate 45 degree angle to vessel 2 but soon realized he was approaching too quickly and made and attempt to change direction and speed to avoid the collision but he stated because of the rain it was hard to judge distance. At that time he struck the bow of vessel 2 with the front starboard side of his vessel. During the impact Op1  was ejected forward off the PWC and landed approximately 10 feet in front of the two watercrafts. Op1  stated he was traveling at speeds over 45 miles per hour at the time of impact. Op1  then stated he swam to and climbed back aboard his vessel as the operator of vessel 2 did the same. The group of four then operated back to the rental agency
