Operators rented PWCs for recreation on Canyon Lake. Vessels were cruising at mid to high speed, parallel about 25ft apart. Vessel 1 pulled ahead a very short distance and turned to starboard. Vessel two was unable to avoid collision and struck the starboard footwell and operator 1 in the lower leg. Operator 1 suffered severe lacerations and a compound tibial and fibula fracture to the right leg, contracted pnemonia after discharge and had to be readmitted for treatment. Operator 2 had no known injuries. Vessel 1 had fiberglass damage to the starboard footwell. Vessel 2 had very little damage to the bow.
