RedactedNarrative: Vessel #1 (V1) 2004, 10’ Honda Aquatrax PWC w/1 Honda Inboard Engine – 165 HP
  Vessel #2 (V2) – 2002, 10’ Honda F12X PWC w/1 Honda Inboard Engine – 112 HP
  
  On 07/30/2020, at about 04:02 p.m., these two vessels were cruising on Lake Merwin about ¼ mile West of Cresap Campground/Boat Launch located near Amboy, WA in Clark county.
  
  According to Law Enforcement, both Vessels 1 & 2 were headed in a NNE direction on the water at the above location at a speed of approximately 25 to 30 mph.  V1 was ahead of V2 and to V2’s port/left side.  The Operator of V2 estimated the distance to be 300 feet.  
  
  The Operator of V1 said he slowed and initiated a sharp left turn in an attempt to throw his Occupant from the Vessel.  Operator1 said he looked and saw V2 to his right prior to making the sharp turn left.  He said he made the sharp left turn and began to circle back around to the NNE heading and was struck on the right side by V2.  He described the collision as a T-Bone style about 270 degrees through the turn.
  
  V2 overrode V1 striking both the Operator1, and his Occupant who were on the vessel. Operator2 said he saw V1 make a turn which resulted in a “wall of water” and he lost sight of V1 until it emerged from the wall of water traveling from left to right.  Operator2 said he veered right and began to slow down but struck V1 as it crossed in front of him.
  
  Both the Operator and Occupant of V1 were ejected by the force of the collision and suffered injuries to the right sides of their bodies.  All Operators and Occupants were wearing proper USCG approved PFDs for this activity.  Officers inspected both vessels prior to any interviews.  Physical evidence of the collision on both V1 and V2 are consistent with Operator’s and Occupant’s statements.
