  On 010/09/2022, at about 07:30 p.m., V1 and V2 were both cruising on the Columbia River near River Mile 106 near the Washington shore, closest to the town of Vancouver, WA in Clark County.
  
  According to Law Enforcement, two witnesses witnessed the collision as they were sitting at the Waterfront Taphouse, located west of the Grant Street Pier on the second floor above the Twiggs restaurant. 
  
  They arrived at the taphouse about 2:30pm and didn’t leave until after witnessing the collision at approx. 7:30 p.m. Subject1 stated that V1, operated by Operator1, was doing donuts, going fast in small circles, and would come up from behind the other boats extremely close and jump their wake on his PWC. There was a period of time where Operator1 left the area, to the east, going under the I-5 bridge and beyond then returning about 30 minutes later. V1 operator, resumed driving fast, doing donuts and jumping wakes from other boats. 
  
  Subject1 state that after sunset (1835 hours) it became difficult to see V1 because it was getting darker, and he had not had any nav lights on. Subject1 stated that just prior to the collision, Operator1 came speeding into the area under where the Grant Street Pier overhangs the Columbia River and began doing donuts, estimated three donuts and then exited the maneuver heading south toward the Oregon Shore at a high rate of speed and collided with V2, which seemed to be drifting down river facing west, knocking Operator2 into the river. Operator2 was pulled from the water by boaters who were passing by, and she was transported to PHSW, as she was lifeless, not responsive and didn’t move. Injuries included a large laceration to the head, a compound fracture to her right tibia and fibula and a near severing of her lower right leg. A search warrant of V1 was served, locating several cans of Coors light in a cooler mounted to the transom.
  
  V1 operator, Operator1 was given multiple violations, including homicide by watercraft.
