RedactedNarrative: According to operator and witness statements, on Saturday April 23, 2022, two personal watercrafts (pwc''s), operated by Operator1 and Operator2, were traveling on Norris Lake near 879 Cove Pointe Rd. in Campbell County.  The pwc operated by Operator1 (V1) was closer to shore near Cove Pointe Rd. and the pwc operated by Operator2 (V2) was to the right of Operator1.  
  
  Operator2''s pwc was also approximately 20 ft. ahead of Operator1''s pwc while the two traveled, as estimated by a witness.  Operator2''s pwc then changed direction slightly to the right and then began making a turn to the left.  
  
  As the pwc operated by Operator2 was making the turn, it crossed into the path of Operator1 and the two pwc''s collided.  The collision caused both operators to be ejected from the pwc''s.  Operator2 had multiple injuries due the collision. Operator1 then assisted Operator2 to shore at 879 Cove Pointe Rd.  Operator2 was then taken by ambulance to meet a medical helicopter that flew him to the University of Tennessee Medical Center. *** Waterway Description
