Operator of V-1 was cruising behind and parallel with operator of V-2. Operator of V-1 overtook V-2, and decided to cross in front of him. Operator of V-1 recklessly steered towards V-2 too soon, colliding directly into the starboard side of the other vessel causing it to flip over on top of operator 2 as he was ejecting himself from the PWC. V-1 then passed over top of operator 2 while he was attempting to resurface to top of the water. Minor injuries were reported by operator #2 who refused medical attention. 

Operator of vessel #1 was running parallel with vessel #2 at a speed he estimated at approximately 35-40 MPH. Vessel #2 was traveling at a slower speed of approximately 20 MPH. Both vessels were cruising in a southerly direction approximately 1/4 mile from the Nokomis shoreline. Both were heading towards the north jetty inlet. Operator of vessel #1 admitted he got within 20-30 feet of vessel #2 and decided to swerve directly in front it, and attempt to pass in front of his bow. Operator #2 reported he was approximately 5 feet away, when he heard the other jet ski coming up on him. Operator #1 wasn't paying attention and turned his vessel too soon, subsequently colliding into the right side of vessel #2 with its bow. As a result, operator of vessel #2 saw him at the last moment and attempted to self eject to avoid being hit, however his vessel rolled over on top of him. As operator #2 attempted to resurface to the top of the water, he was pushed under again when vessel #1 passed over top of him. Operator of V-1 complained of back and upper shoulder hurting. Also complaint of minor pain to inner thigh area, groin and right hip.
