RedactedNarrative: According to operator and occupant statements obtained to date, on Sunday, May 26, 2019, at approximately 1:25 pm, Operator1 was operating a Yamaha Personal Watercraft (PWC) on Cherokee Lake. 
  
  Operator2, a juvenile, was operating a Seadoo PWC. Statements from both Operator2 and Operator1 state they were using the wake spray from the PWCs to spray each other prior to the point that Operator2 used the PWC he was operating to jump the wake of a passing vessel. 
  
  Operator1 also used the PWC he was operating to jump the same wake. After Operator2 jumped the wake, he began a right turn in order to avoid the shoreline. 
  
  At that point, the PWC Operator2 was operating was struck by the PWC being operated by Operator1. This impact caused a compound fracture to Operator2''s lower right leg, fractured his right femur, did considerable damage to PWC, and ejected all three riders into the water. This occurred in Hawkins County, Tennessee.
