on Sept 9, 2023 at approximately 6:30 pm two PWCs collided with each other on the San Jacinto River. V1 was traveling down river when it noticed two PWCs coming up river. The Two PWCs were adjacent to one another but were traveling in a straight path. Both V1 and V2 did not attempt avoidance maneuvers. V1 continued at plaining speed while V2 attempted to throttle down but continue in the same path. This is evident as V2 received damage mainly to the bottom of the vessel in a straight line path of engagement.  

Operator of V2 ejected to the starboard side and ended up in the water were he was recovered by V1 and returned to land. V1 received damage to the the front bow starboard side with breaking the fiberglass and rubrail removed and embedded in the bottom of V2. V2 was towed to riverside beach upside down and on the beach were it was later recovered by the owner. V2 operator received a minor laceration to the chin but did not seek medical attention that day.
