On July 2, 2023 at approximately 1015 A.M., Driver 1 was traveling westbound along the Spokane River on his white and Green Sea doo Jet ski when he passed a ski boat traveling east. 

When he saw the wake caused by the ski boat, Driver 1 attempted to swerve away from it but hit the wake at a 90 degree angle, ejecting him from the operator's seat over the front of the jet ski. 

The motor was killed by the cut off switch but forward momentum caused the jet ski to hit Driver 1 in the head.
