On 07-14-2023 at approximately 1600 hours, Vessel one, a 2015 Bombardier PWC was operating west bound in the South Basin of Lake Havasu approximately 200 yards South of the thompson Bay Buoy Line. 

Operator1 observed a boat passing him traveling North Bound with a PWC approximately 70 yards behind it making several turns. 

Operator1 thought that the other PWC had turned around so he jumped the wake of the passing boat. While his PWC was in the air, he realized that the PWC had not turned around and his PWC was going to collide with it. 

Operator1 jumped off of his PWC to avoid injury during the collision. Operator1 landed in the water uninjured. 

The other involved PWC, Vessel 2, failed to stop after the collision and immediately left the scene. Deputies attempted to locate vessel 2 but were unsuccessful. The operator of vessel 2 did not contact law enforcement to report the collision.
