Two personal watercraft were operating on the river. PWC #2 was operating behind PWC #1, when PWC #1 started making quick turns. PWC #2 collided with PWC #1, hitting it on the right side and pushing Operator #1 into the water. Operator #1 appeared to have an injured leg and Operator #2 helped support Operator #1 in the water until help arrived. They were both wearing life jackets.

Witnesses were on shore in their yard when they heard the two Operators yelling for help. They called 911 and responded with their pontoon boat. They brought both Operators back to the dock to meet with first responders. The PWCs were retrieved and secured on shore. Operator #1 was transported to the hospital. Watercraft #2 had a small amount of damage. Alcohol was not a factor.
