  According to Law Enforcement, V1, operated and passenger were cruising on Snake River but had come to a stop. V2, who was on plane, was going to pull up next to V1 so they could ride off together. As V2 approached V1, V2 vessel did not respond like O2 thought it would and struck V1 at an angle on the port side near the stern. V2 went up onto V1 striking O1 and his passenger, knocking both off the vessel into the water. O1 had trouble breathing and O2 called out for help. There was another boat nearby that was part of their group who assisted in getting O1 and passenger out of the water and back to the dock. Two subjects from the boat drove the PWCs back to shore.
