Two juveniles a brother and a sister were on personal watercraft on east balsam lake. The 13 year old sister was just putting around in the bay in front of the dock and was stationary at the time of the incident. 

Her brother another 13 year old was driving into the bay towards his sister to head in to shore. She was floating broadside to the shoreline and he was coming in perpendicular to her. When he was approximately 15 ft away his personal water craft accelerated and struck his sisters pwc at a 90 degree angle on her starboard side. 

His father is guessing he gripped the handlebars and hit the throttle at the same time. His pwc went up and over hers knocking her into the water. Her father jumped off the dock and brought her to shore. Her injuries were a bruised collapsed lung.
