The victim's boat was underway on the Elizabeth River, just past the Gilmerton Bridge, where the channel takes a hard right in a blind corner.  

The victim's boat was close to the green channel marker (as he should have been), when the subject's boat came around the corner on the incorrect side, coming at the victim's boat head on.  

The subject never corrected his course as the navigation rules dictate and the victim was forced to make evasive turn to the port side, as the shoreline prevented him from moving toward starboard side. 

Two victims in the victim's boat were injured - one had bruises on her arm and near ribs, another had a knee injury that required medical attention beyond basic first aid - when the victim's boat made the sharp turn to port.
