Vessel 1 was traveling at a high rate of speed (approximately 55-65 per operator) and hit Vessel 2 wake capsizing vessel 1.  The operator and the passenger of Vessel 1 were ejected from the vessel and were transported to the hospital with injuries.
On the date of 1/12/23 at approximately 5:30PM, I was dispatched to a boating accident which occurred on Lake Dora in Lake County. I arrived on scene and met with the operator and passenger of Vessel 1. Both were being transported to Florida hospital Waterman with back and neck injuries.
LCSO Marine and myself moved the vessel out of traffic way and near a shoreline and marked it with buoys.
At approximately 7:37 PM, I met with the operator (OP1) and passenger at the hospital. OP1 said he was going approximately 55-65 mph heading back to Venetian gardens (east) when he hit another vessels wake and lost control of his vessel and flipped it and he and his passenger were ejected. They were then picked up by a good Samaritan in vessel 2.
The good Samaritan operator on vessel 2 said he saw vessel 1 approaching him and from the stern and hit his wake and make a sudden sharp turn and ejected both occupants.
