  On 06/29/2019, at about 04:08 p.m., these two vessels were cruising on Moses Lake about 200-300 yards offshore of Dunes Road, located near Moses Lake, WA in Grant County.
  
  V1 was cruising/changing direction at the above location.  V2 was also cruising at this same location.  Both Operator1 and Operator2, who were on vacation together, were traveling at approximately 21-30 mph. Both operators left the beach at approximately the same time.   
  
  Operator1 (V1) was slightly ahead of Operator2 (V2) as they motored out the no wake zone.  Shortly after leaving the no wake zone, both operators were operating on plane at approximately 25-30 mph.  Operator2 reported that he started to hit some large waves and that Operator1 made a right turn in front of him.  Operator2 hit a large wave and landed on top of Operator1.  
  
  Shortly after, Officers received a report of the two PWCs that had collided.  Operator1, who suffered a head injury, was transported by private boat to Peninsula boat launch to meet EMS.  A Deputy met Operator1 at the launch and could smell the odor of intoxicants on him.  The Deputy assisted EMS with restraining Operator1.  He was transported to Samaritan Hospital and then air lifted to Sacred Heart Hospital in Spokane with a fractured orbital socket.  The Deputy then responded to the Sand Dunes to contact the other operator and to locate the PWC. 
  
  Another Officer stopped by the hospital to check the condition of Operator1 and then responded to the Sand Dunes to contact the other Operator and to look at the PWC.  Both PWCs had had been removed from the water and taken to this location. Operator2 was contacted at the Sand Dunes and stated he was the other PWC operator. 
  
  Damage to watercraft matched what Operator2 had given in his recall of what happened.  A search warrant for blood (Operator1) was done by WSP in Spokane for BUI charges.
