RedactedNarrative: Vessel#1 and vessel#2 were being operated north in beaverdam creek of lake norman. Vessel #2 operator was operating his jet-ski on the starboard/right side of vessel #1 at a distance that is estimated to be less than 50ft at greater that “no wake” speed.  
  
  Vessel#2 operator continued increasing speed until he passed vessel#1, turned left in front of vessel#1, losing control, and was ejected off jet ski into the water.  
  
  It should be noted that operator2 was operating his vessel under the influence of an impairing substance (alcohol) and was not properly wearing his required personal flotation device.  Vessel#1 operator was maintaining course and speed until operator2 turned left in front of him and fell into the water.  
  
  Operator1 inadvertently ran over operator2 with his boat.  The boat hull and propeller from operator1's boat motor struck operator2 causing injuries.  Although vessel#1 operator was arrested for operating while impaired, he was still able to react, decrease speed immediately, stop, assist pulling operator2 out of the water onto the back of his boat and operate to the nearest dock.
