RedactedNarrative: Four boats (all parties known to each other) were traveling together when the last two boats in line collided. The boats were northbound at an estimated 25 MPH on the lake, north of Sugarbush Island. The second boat in line lost a ball overboard. 
  
  The operator of the third boat in line (WC #2) turned sharply to starboard, intending to retrieve the ball, while simultaneously slowing down. 
  
  The operator of the last boat in line (WC #1) did not see the maneuver and proceeded straight north on this path. 
  
  Operator #1 heard his passengers yell a warning. He pulled back the throttle instinctively and a split second later collided with the approximate center of WC #2. 
  
  WC #1 did an override of WC #2, coming to rest with the lower unit inside WC #2, with a passenger of WC #2 trapped under WC #1. 
  
  Operator #2 hit his head on WC #1 as it crossed him, knocking him back and completely removing the driver's-side console. 
  
  WC #1 hit another passenger in WC #2 in the leg, as she was sitting behind the passenger-side console. 
  
  The bow of WC #1 exited the port side of WC #2. All the passengers pushed WC #1 further out of the port side of WC #2 to free the trapped passenger, who was not injured. Other boats and the National Park Service assisted parties, transported to shore, and later separated the boats and towed them to the National Park Visitor Center boat ramp. The injured passenger was transported to the hospital by ambulance. Operator #2 was not transported. There were no injuries in WC #1. Life jackets were not being worn in either boat. Alcohol was not a factor. There a small amount of damage to WC #1 and WC #2 was a Total Loss.
