RedactedNarrative: Watercraft #1 was westbound on the lake near the LaPlant Public Access. Watercraft #2 was eastbound in the same area. Due to a moderate amount of traffic, there were several individuals operating personal watercraft and motorboats in the same area. According to witnesses on WC #2, it appeared WC #1 was coming toward them as they were cruising the lake while pulling a tuber. 
  It was noted the bow of WC #1 was very high and it appeared the operator did not see them. Watercraft #2 operator and occupants were alerted at this time. Operator #2 attempted to steer to the right to avoid the collision. WC #1 made a sharp left turn. As a result, the two watercraft collided. 
  The bow of WC #1 struck #2 in the middle portion on the port side. Two occupants from WC #2 were ejected into the water. One occupant from WC #1 was thrown onto WC #2. Six people from the two watercraft were transported to the hospital with non-life threatening injuries. The tuber (listed as passenger in People tab) from WC #1 was uninjured. Life jackets were worn by all (including the tuber) on WC #1. Life jackets were on board WC #2, but were not being worn. Operator #1 was arrested for Criminal Vehicular Operation.  Operator1 had a .24 BAC.  Operator #2 had been drinking, but was not intoxicated.
