RedactedNarrative: Operator #1 stated: 
  I heard a ski and saw a wake out in front of me and started to adjust my course to the port. From out of nowhere, I saw the ski and cut hard to starboard and he struck me. 
  
  Operator #2 stated: 
  Statements were not obtained at the scene due to operator #2 being transported to the hospital from 
  injuries sustained from the accident. On August 25, 2020, a telephonic interview was conducted. Operated #2 stated: I was heading back to the dock when the boat cut me off. I could not see the other boat. After that everything else is real fuzzy. 
  All other witness statements concurred with the statement of operator #1. 
  
  Investigation at the Scene: 
  On the aforementioned date, at approximately 2145 hrs. the still air hung under hazy night skies, a waxing crescent moon (16% illumination) was barely visible. Vessel #1, a 21' Striper walkabout, was traversing the Delaware River, south bound on the out going tide in the area of the Cochran Channel near the Capital City Yacht Club in Trenton City. 
  
  Vessel #2, an 11' Yamaha FX Cruiser personal watercraft, was also in the Cochran Channel heading north towards the Trenton Municipal ramp in Trenton City. Vessel #1, unable to observe vessel #2's route of travel due to the lack of being equipped with navigational lights, began to navigate away from what was thought to be the moon lite glimmer of the wake from vessel #2.
  
   Adjusting his course to the port, vessel #1 continued her heading. Operator #2 traveling north bound observed vessel #1 traveling south bound, adjusting course to the port, in an attempt put distance between the two vessels, operator #2 adjusted his course to port. 
  
  At the last second, operator #1 observed the jet ski approaching head on and abruptly attempted to compensate, turning hard to starboard. 
  
  Vessel #2 unable to stop in time, struck vessel #1 on the port side below the waterline just forward of amidships. Upon impact, operator #2 was thrown forward striking his head against the hull of vessel #1 before being ejected from the personal watercraft. 
  
  The collision of the two vessels caused operator #1 to be thrown into the starboard gunwale, where he made a complaint of pain to the right side of his arm and shoulder. It was at this time, operator #2 sustained lacerations to his left leg from the cracked and splintered plastic on vessel #2. 
  
  After being ejected from the jet ski (vessel #2), operator #2 was in the water and in need of assistance. Operator #1, of his own volition, dove into the aphotic waters helping operator #2 into vessel #1 before transporting the injured operator #2 to the Trenton Municipal ramp. 
  
  With the aid of a good Samaritan, vessel #2 was driven to the Trenton Municipal ramp. Both vessels were secured at the dock, pending this investigation. Upon arriving at the bulkhead, operator #2 was met by the Trenton Police and the Lamberton Fire/ EMS Departments, respectively. 
  
  Operator #2 underwent treatment for a swelled contusion to his forehead and lacerations to his left leg. Operator #2 was then stabilized and transported to Helene Fold Hospital (Capital Health Regional Medical Center) in Trenton where he would be admitted overnight for further evaluation. All of the occupants of vessel #1 refused any medical attention at that time, but later operator #1 made a complaint of pain to his lower back after entering the water and to the right side of his arm and shoulder from where he struck the gunwale. 
  
  Damage to vessel #1 was unable to be observed. Due to the hard turn to starboard vessel #2 struck 
  vessel #1 below the waterline. It is noted that there was a large amount of surface area on the bow of vessel #2 was marked by the paint transfer from the bottom paint of vessel #1. Heavy damage was 
  observed to the bow of vessel #2. As mentioned, paint transfer, cracked and splinted fairings and a 
  dented rub rail were observed to the bow of vessel #2. Both vessels were operational post collision and were removed from the scene.
