  On 07/06/2021, at about 12:30 p.m., these two vessels were cruising/changing direction/changing speed in the middle of Rimrock Lake located near Naches, WA in Yakima county.
  
  According to Law Enforcement, V1, operated by V1 Operator was riding southbound across Rimrock Lake with V2, operated by V2 Operator, following behind.  Neither V1 Operator or V2 Operator have a mandatory boater education card or have had any substantive experience or training in the operation of these vessels.  
  
  V1 slowed and started to turn.  V2 collided with V1 knocking the occupant, V1 Passenger, off the vessel and into the water.  V1 Passenger stated that the wind was knocked out of her, and she may have lost consciousness during the collision.  V1 Passenger was transported to the hospital for medical treatment with rib and back pain.  All four riders were wearing PFDs.
  
  NOTE:  The four children involved were under the care of Mother, who is mother to two of the girls and married to the registered owner of the vessels.  Mother admittedly allowed the girls to operate the PWCs against her better judgement though she was un-aware it was illegal for them to operate the vessels.
