RedactedNarrative: On Sunday June 13, 2021 Operator1 and his fiance launched Operator1's 19' Triton bass boat at approximately 0930 at Observation Knob on South Holston Lake in Bristol, Tennessee. After fishing for several hours, Operator1 and V1 occupant1 were traveling back to Observation Knob. Approximately 50-60 yards out from the "no wake zone" Operator1 throttled down to a plowing speed of approximately 10 mph. 
  
  At this time, Operator1 and V1 occupant1 were struck by a Seadoo PWC. The PWC was traveling approximately 25-30 mph 50-60 feet behind the bass boat. Operator2 did not have time to avoid a collision when Operator1 throttled down. The PWC struck the top of the 200 hp outboard motor before coming over the bass boat and off of the right side just behind the operator's seat. 
  
  Operator2 and V2 occupant1 both were ejected into the water. They were wearing traditional wearable life jackets at the time of the accident and were not injured. Operator1 and V1 occupant1 were both wearing inflatable PFD's and were not injured during the collision. Operator1 made sure the PWC occupants were uninjured while V1 occupant1 called 911. Operator2 and V2 occupant1 returned to their campsite and awaited arrival of TWRA. Operator1 and V1 occupant1 trailered the bass boat and awaited TWRA arrival at Observation Knob. Operator2 did not possess Boater Education as required by law.
