Operator #1 stated in effect: My boyfriend was in front of me on his PWC when he suddenly slowed down. I didn't have enough time to react, which caused me to crash into him.

Operator #2 stated in effect: I was riding my PWC ahead of my girlfriend when I slowed down to see how far behind me she was. She then crashed into me.

Investigation Revealed: Vl and V2 were traveling on the Metedeconk River, Brick Township, Ocean County in the vicinity of Windward Beach. Vl was following V2 when V2 suddenly slowed down, resulting in Vl to strike the starboard side (near the bow) of V2. 

This collision caused operator #1 to be ejected from the PWC, resulting in a left lower leg injury, (specifically a fracture of the tibia). Operator #1 was transported to Pier 281 Marina, Brick Township, Ocean County by Brick PD Marine 1 where she was then treated and transported by Brick PD EMS to Ocean University Medical Center. Operator #2 was uninjured. Both Vl and V2 were docked at Pier 281 Marina. Vt sustained no visible damage and V2 sustained a crack to the fiberglass on the starboard side. It should be noted that both Operator #1 and #2 had temporary BSC's and were awaiting their BSC operator's number.
