RedactedNarrative: Watercraft 2 was traveling eastbound out of the Halstead Bay channel at approximately 20 MPH when they struck the front port side of Watercraft #1. WC #2 went up and over WC #1 and came to a stop on the top of WC #1. The Operator of WC #1 was injured in the incident and was transported to the hospital by ambulance.
  
  The Passenger in WC #1 said he and the operator were in the boat just outside the channel from the bay. He said they were fishing off to the right of the channel marker while drifting. He noticed the other boat (WC #2) coming out of the channel in their direction. When the boat cleared the channel it accelerated towards them. They both yelled but the Operator didn't appear to see or hear them. The Passenger was able to jump from the boat but Operator #1 didn't get out in time. The Passenger was not injured.
  
  The Operator of WC #2 stated he was heading east out of the channel. He was looking northbound when he began accelerating and was not looking in the direction he was traveling. When he reached plane, and his bow lowered, he saw WC #1 in front of him but it was "too late." He struck the port side of WC #1.
  
  Life jackets were being worn in both watercraft and alcohol was not a factor. There was damage to both watercraft. Operator #2 was issued a citation for careless driving.
