RedactedNarrative: On 07/17/2021 at 2:305 pm, Vessel 1 (V1), a 2012 Yamaha Wave Runner VX Cruiser was riding in the middle of Lewis and Clark Lake, north and west of Weigand Recreational area towards the middle of the lake in Yankton County, South Dakota (SD) by a Nebraska male (O1). 
  
  The son, (O2), of O1 was driving (V2) a 2010 Kawasaki STX-15F Jet Ski heading east, south east at a rate of approximately 25 miles per hour.  
  
  O1 wanted to catch up with O2 so took off east north east to get along side him to communicate with him driving faster than 25 mph.  It was wavy and as O1 started to get along side O2 hit a large wave and started losing control as water hit him in the face.  When he looked up V2 was just in front him and a collision was inevitable.  V1 broadsided V2 in the right front part of the jet ski just in front of the handles.  A large hole was put in V2 and it would not start again.  Both O1 and O2 fell off the machines. 
  
  Both vessels were rented from Lakeside Fun Rentals of Yankton.  
  
  No injuries were reported in the incident.  O1 was cited for careless operation of a vessel by WCO.
