RedactedNarrative: WC #1 was traveling southbound at approximately 20-25 MPH, near the middle of the lake. Operator #1 stated that the bow was up in the air, limiting his visibility. He said he usually sat on top of the ledge of the seat so he sat higher but had not done so during this incident. He saw another watercraft off to his left, closer to shore, he stayed more in the center of the lake and continued traveling southbound.
  
  Operator #1 described seeing a flash of a yellow object directly in front of his boat. He saw an arm raised up out of this yellow object moving in a waving motion. Prior to this, he did not see or hear anything in front of him. He pulled the steering wheel to the left to avoid the object but was unsuccessful. 
  
  WC #1 struck WC #2. Operator #1 slowed to a stop and realized he had struck a 2-person kayak. He saw a man in the water struggling to hold a woman above the water. A passenger from WC #1 entered the water to help the two victims. 
  
  Another boater in the area came to help with a pullable boating tube. They put the woman on the tube and Operator #1 got on with her and they headed toward shore. The Passenger from WC #1 helped Operator #2 onto WC #1 and they began following the other boat. An uninvolved PWC collected the kayak (WC #2) and brought it to shore.
  
  The occupants of WC #2 were brought to Lakeshore Drive and then were transported to the hospital for treatment. WC #1 remained at that location until law enforcement arrived.
  
  The occupants of WC #2 were renting a cabin on the lake. WC #2 (an unregistered kayak) was owned by the rental property owner. WC #2 was traveling eastbound across the lake, approximately 200 feet from the west shoreline. They were heading back to the rental property. They saw WC #1 approaching them and began yelling and waving right before they were struck. Operator #2 said it appeared WC #1 never saw them. They were both thrown into the water. The passenger in WC #2 was facedown, unconscious in the water. Operator #2 flipped her over and held her above water until she was put on the boat tube.
  
  Life jackets were being worn in WC #2 but not in WC #1. Alcohol was not a factor in either boat. The occupants of WC #2 both received injury. There was a small amount of damage to WC #2.
