RedactedNarrative: At 5:00pm on Saturday, June 11, 2016, operator1 was operating a PWC (vessel 1) heading downstream on Crane Creek between the Goodman Lake Road bridge and Goat Island.  Operator1' vessel had a male passenger, rear facing, observing two female passengers being towed on a tube.  Operator1 was operating near the southern shore, and as she approached, but prior to reaching, the congested area of Goat Island, turned to the port (left) to eventually return upstream.  
  
  Also at 5:00pm on Saturday, June 11, 2016, operator2 was operating a PWC (vessel 2) heading downstream on Crane Creek between the Goodman Lake Road bridge and Goat Island.  Operator2 had no other passengers aboard or being towed.  Operator2 was operating near the northern shore of Crane Creek and made a slight turn to the starboard (right) to head to Goat Island.  Operator2 (vessel 2) observed Operator1' vessel (vessel 1) crossing and Operator2 turned more to the starboard (right) and then immediately to port (left) to proceed behind Operator1' vessel (vessel 1).  
  
  Operator2 did not immediately see the tube being towed by vessel 1.  Operator1 waved and pointed at the tube.  Operator2 then noticed the tube, cut off the engine and steered hard to starboard (right).  A PWC without power has no steering or control and continued in the direction it was traveling.  The passenger on the port (left) side tube noticed the PWC and impending collision, let go and dove underwater.  The port (left) side of the tube tilted up in the air and Operator2's PWC (vessel 2) struck the tube folding it over on top of the other passenger on the tube.  Operator2's PWC struck the victim on the back of the left shoulder and the back of the head.  
  
  As a result of being struck, the passenger was severely bruised and sore on the back of her left shoulder and the back of her head.  All five involved in this incident were wearing type III PFDs.  Alcohol was not a factor in this incident.  Operator1 received a written warning for exceeding capacity on a PWC.  Operator2 received a citation for careless and negligent operation.
