RedactedNarrative: Watercraft #1 had come around the point and was drifting while occupants fished. Operator #1 saw another boat coming from the other direction running wide open. Operator #1 yelled at the other boat to try to get their attention, but Operator #2 could not see him due to three passengers sitting in WC #2. Operator #1 stated that WC #2 hit the left side of WC #1. One passenger in the front of WC #1 was able to jump out of the boat before the collision, but the bow of WC #2 hit Operator #1 and also the passenger sitting in the middle of WC #1, causing injury to both. 
  
  Information was exchanged. Operator #1 stated that after the collision, Operator #2 seemed to be upset with the three passengers from WC #2 for not looking out for other boats, as he could not see from the rear of the boat. A passing boat was able to assist the occupants of WC #1 to get them home, where they called authorities. Emergency medical services were declined, saying they would go to the hospital by private vehicle.
  
  While the deputies were at the house, two witnesses approached, both juveniles. They had been fishing in another boat when they noticed a stationary boat with three occupants fishing. They also saw another boat with four occupants go by them. The three passengers in that boat were facing the operator at the back of the boat. Soon the witnesses heard a man yelling but could not hear what he was saying. They looked over and saw WC #2 collide with WC #1. They described it as a "direct T-bone." When asked how fast WC #2 was going, they were unsure. Then one witness said 20 MPH, maybe 25 or 30. They did state WC #1 was stationary and WC #2 did not make an attempt to turn to avoid the collision.
  
  While deputies were taking photos of WC #1, dispatch received a call from Operator #2, asking if he could talk to the deputies. They went to Operator #2's house. WC #2 had a few small scratches, but no structural damage. Operator #2 said that they had problems with the motor in the past, and when they had it out on the lake it was acting up and the throttle had locked up so he was taking it home. He stated he did not see WC #1 until it was too late. While talking with Operator #2, the father of Operator #2 called and told the deputies that they have had problems with the motor in the past. He said this is the first time the throttle had gotten stuck, if that's what mechanically happened.
  
  Deputies followed up with Operator #1 and were told that the motor and steering on WC #2 seemed to work just fine after the accident because they motored around at the scene and motored back to shore just fine. All three occupants of WC #1 were injured. Life jackets were being worn by all occupants in both watercraft. Alcohol was not a factor.
