RedactedNarrative: On August 17th around 16:00 hours a non-injury crash occurred on Flathead Lake near Wild Horse Island involving two personal watercraft. Vessel #1 was a 2014 Sea Doo PWC and Vessel #2 was a 2013 Sea Doo PWC. Vessel #2 was in the lead and Vessel #1 was following. The operator of vessel #1 (Operator #1) was following too closely, within 200 ft, crossing wake, and was traveling at 40 mph. Vessel #2 had a sudden loss of power, operator #2 believed they accidentally pulled the lanyard cut off switch.  Operator #2 had less than 10 hours of operator experience and no education course. Vessel #1 then crashed into vessel #2, ramping over vessel #1 from the starboard side stern towards the port bow of vessel #2. The direction of impact from vessel #1 was evident from the damage starting from: gouges to the starboard stern, damage to the rear of the seat, damaged right handle/throttle control with handle bars torn mostly from PWC (position of handle bars before being torn off aided in showing direction of impact),  the hood of the  vessel was torn off and there were gouges completing the path of the ramping/offending vessel on the port bow of vessel #2.  Vessel #1 had damage to the underside of the hull on the port side. Operator #1 was issued a citation for reckless operation of a personal watercraft.
