RedactedNarrative: About 1720 hrs, on 8/3/2019, Operator A was driving Vessel A on Hebron Lake in Monson, ME. About 1724 hrs, Operator B began driving Vessel B in the vicinity of Vessel A. 
  
  The two vessels proceeded to make consecutive sharp turns in the water, crossing each other's wakes. At 1726 hrs, Operator B turned in front of Operator A's vessel. Operator A stated Operator B was 100-150 feet in front of him and he was unable to avoid striking Vessel B. 
  
  Operator A stated he should have accelerated and turned to avoid Vessel B, however, he left off the throttle and was unable to steer Vessel A.  The front left portion of Vessel A struck the top right side of the cowling and front passenger portion of Vessel B. 
  
  The left front portion of Vessel A also stuck Operator B who was knocked off Vessel B into the water. Operator A found Operator B face down and unconscious in the water but Operator B recovered when Operator A turned her over onto her back. Operator B's left wrist and fingers on her right hand were broken. Operator B also had trouble breathing due to an injured larynx. 
  
  A boat on shore rescued Operator B and an off duty paramedic provided aid until an ambulance arrived. Operator B was transported by a Life Flight helicopter to Eastern Maine Medical Center and from there to Massachusetts General Hospital.  Investigation determined both operators were wearing USCG approved PFD's when the crash occurred. Neither operator showed signs of alcohol use and none was noted at or near the scene. The crash appeared to occur due to the reckless operation of Operator's A and B. Speed and an improper turn by Operator B contributed to the crash.
