RedactedNarrative: Watercraft #1 and Watercraft #2 collided causing the occupants of WC #2 to be ejected. When deputies arrived they were told that the wrecked boats were being towed to shore. A few moments later a boat pulled up to the beach with several people in it. It had the two injured parties from WC #2. They were complaining of pain. One girl started talking and said she was the operator of the PWC (WC#2). She stated she was heading one way and the boat (WC #1) was heading another, straight across the lake. She stated the boat was flat and then sped up (motioning with her hands as if the bow of the boat was raising up). 
  
  She stated she thought Operator #1 was messing around because she knew him. She stated she let off the gas and tried to turn. She stated she realized he was not stopping and she could not stop. The two were transported to the hospital. Deputies spoke to a witness who was on another boat. She stated that the boat (WC #1) was going across the lake and not traveling like most boats do, going around the lake. She motioned with her hands that WC #2 was traveling in a southwesterly direction. She motioned that WC #1 was heading south to southeast and was almost stopped. She stated that the boat (WC #1) sped up eventually hitting WC #2. (The witness was not able to give directions so the deputy had to go off her hand signals.) 
  
  The witness stated that when WC #1 and WC #2 collided, the two people on WC #2 fell off. Deputies spoke to the operator of WC #1 who stated he was driving in one of the bays on the lake when he noticed a fisherman's boat ahead. Operator #1 slowed down to an idle to prevent making a large wake near the fishing boat. He then turned right and began driving toward another bay. He said shortly after, he heard some screaming and then the PWC (WC #2) crashing into his boat. He said he never saw WC #2 and he estimated he was traveling around 25 to 30 mph. 
  
  The deputy then went to the hospital and spoke to both occupants of WC #2. The passenger stated she did not know where WC #1 came from but first noticed it when it was about 20 feet away. She said the sun was behind WC #1 making it difficult to see. She did not know how fast the PWC they were riding was going. After the crash, she was knocked off into the water and then felt the pain almost immediately. The Deputy then spoke to Operator #2. She said she thought they were going about 5 mph. She had seen WC #1 coming. As the boat was driving toward them, she could tell it increased its speed because the front rose up. She tried to turn the PWC away, but was unable to complete the turn in time. She said the sun was behind the boat. When the boat hit the PWC, it knocked her and her passenger off. Alcohol was not a factor in the incident. Life jackets were not being worn. WC #1 received damage.
