From my investigation, and supporting facts, it appears V1 was travelling downriver alongside another PWC as they approached the Courtesy Dock. A third vessel travelling upriver approached the 2 PWCs, the second PWC veered towards V1 to avoid the approaching vessel, V1 veered to starboard to avoid the PWC. A combination of the wake from the passing vessel and the wake from the second PWC sent V1 airborne before it collided into the north end of the Emergency Access Dock, located just north of the Courtesy Dock. Operator and Passenger 2 remained on V1, but Injured was ejected from V1. Injured sustained multiple lacerations to the head, right arm, and right thigh and was facedown in the water. Injured was pulled out of the water onto the Courtesy Dock by Operator and bystanders on the dock. V1 sustained significant fiberglass damage to the starboard side bow, paint transfer and gelcoat damage to the starboard side hull towards the bow, and the starboard side rub rail was nearly torn off completely.
