According to witnesses, vessel number 1 was traveling northwest on Ingram lake parrallel with the shoreline at an approximate speed of 30 miles per hour.  Vessel number 2 was near the shoreline on the starboard side of vessel number 1.  Vessel number 2 accelerated into the path of vessel number 1 at which time vessel number 1 made an evasive manuever to the port side.  Vessel number 2 continued traveling from north to south.  

vessel number 1 then struck vessel number 2 throwing the operator and passenger of vessel number 2 into the water.  Because vessel number 2 was a personnal watercraft, the operator should have maintained a distance of 50 feet from vessel number 1.  There appeared to be no failure of equipment and alcohol and/or drug use were not a cause in the accident.  PFD's appear to have been used properly.  Vessel number 2 violated the 50' rule causing the collision between the two vesssels.
