RedactedNarrative: On 6/19/21 at approximately 4:45PM Unit 1, a Black and tan Lowe Pontoon, was pulling 2 tubes in the Lake of Egypt ski area, near Franks point.  Subject1 was driving the pontoon while two people were tubing.  The boat was headed west, then turned south, and returned going west.  Unit 2, a grey and marroon Skeeter bass boat, was pulling subject2 on skis.  Unit 2 was headed west bound and was located just behind and to the north of unit 1.  Unit 2 was swamping because of failure to insert the plug while pulling the skier.  
  
  Operator 1 was operating unit 1 and observed unit 2 turn left, she then looked back to check on tuber, when she turned forward she saw unit 2 directly in front.  Operator 1 immediately throttled back and caused the bow to elevate and impacted unit 2 on the rear starboard side pontoon and panel.  Unit 2 drifted left and damaged the railing and the panel.  
  I spoke with 8 individuals who witnessed the accident. They observed unit 1 pulling the 2 tubes.  They saw unit 2, pulling a skier, and slightly behind unit 1.  Unit 1 turned left and then went straight.  Unit 2 turned towards unit 1 and impact it on the starboard side.  
  Per my investigation Unit 1 was the stand on boat and unit 2 was required to give way.
  Operator 1 was cited for improper overtaking of a watercraft.
