On december 26, 2014, i received a call from raleigh dispatch regarding a possible drowning on nantahala lake.  Upon arrival, we found a macon county detective questioning subject1, a survivor of the canoe accident.  Subject1 said that he, deceased victim1, age 31, subject2 age 7, and deceased victim2 age 11, decided to take a canoe out fishing.  The four got into the canoe and traveled about 30 feet before the canoe capsized.  Subject1 said when the canoe capsized, Subject2 came up next to him.  Subject2 was bobbing up and down in the water like he could not swim.  Subject1 grabbed Subject2 around the neck and started toward the shore.  Subject1 said once they were about 10 feet from the shore, Subject2 started swimming to shore by himself.
 
While Subject1 was assisting Subject2, deceased victim1 was attempting to help deceased victim2 who was panicking and could not swim.  Deceased victim2 was bobbing up and down in the water.  Once deceased victim1 got to deceased victim2, deceased victim1 also started bobbing in the water.  Subject1 said both deceased victim1 and deceased victim2 went under water about four times then he never saw them again.
 
Subject1 said once he got Subject2 to the shore, he thought about going back out to help deceased victim1 and deceased victim2, but he was exhausted from the swim.  Subject1 was wearing very large coat and clothes that weighted him down.  Subject1 said he yelled up to the house for someone to call 911.
 
Both bodies were found near the canoe.  None of the occupants wore a pfd and no pfds were on board the vessel.

On 12/9/14 at approximately 3:00pm vessel 1 was heading south on the icw just south of the figure eight island bridge.  A large, approximately 55 foot, documented vessel was heading north in the opposite direction of vessel 1.  The documented vessel, vessel 2, was throwing a large wake as it passed under the bridge.  Operator1 slowed his vessel down under 10 mph and turned his bow into the oncoming wake.  Operator1' boat made it over the first wave and hit it head on.  The second wave was taken over the bow of the boat knocking the passengers to the floor of the boat and flooding the boat.
 
The passengers bailed the water out with buckets that were in the boat.  Operator1 was able to get his boat going and tried to chase the boat down before he got to the topsail bridge to confront the operator of the unknown vessel.  When Operator1 got his boat going, he was also able to help drain his boat by taking the plug out and running it at top speed to let the water drain.
 
The passengers drove themselves to the brunswick county hospital for medical attention.  All three were released the same day with minor injuries.  The unknown documented vessel was not able to be located.

RedactedNarrative:
This is a summary of the information i gathered concerning the boating accident in beaufort inlet on april 13, 2014 at approximately 05:00am.  According to the operator of the boat, and the owner of the boat, the two of them and 3 other passengers had prepared their vessel for a day of offshore fishing out of beaufort inlet.  They launched the boat from radio island access area and headed toward the inlet.  

Operator said the guys had already found their seat in the bean bags for the long 50 mile ride.  Operator said it was pitch black but fairly calm waves heading out the inlet.  Operator stated that he was only going 10-15 mph due to how dark it was and with the dredge, he didn't want to take a chance on hitting anything.  Operator stated after he passed the second set of inlet markers, he ran into something very large that immediately brought the boat to a dead stop in the water.  Owner stated it sounded much louder than a car accident and he immediately got the pfds out for the crew before doing anything else.  Owner stated that once everyone had a pfd they saw what they hit which was a dredge anchor can unlit approximately 200 yards away from the dredge boat.  Owner stated he couldn't tell how much damage was done to the boat, but he knew it wasn't good.  Owner said he saw his fiberglass marks on the yellow unlit dredge can.  Immediately owner and operator made the quick decision to turn the boat back around as fast as they could and went back to the boat ramp to put the boat on the trailer.  Operator and owner both stated the boat had extensive damage done to the hull and port side of fiberglass and gelcoat. 

Itook owner and operator out on my patrol boat thursday morning the 17th of april.  We went out to beaufort inlet to where the accident occurred and i saw the dredge boat, which was on the right side of the inlet markers and there were two yellow dredge anchor cans approximately 250 yards off the port side of the dredge vessel directly in the center of the inlet channel with no lighting at all on the cans.  All other cans and setup were on the starboard side of the dredge vessel except for the two unlit dredge cans that were set unlit in the middle of the inlet channel.  No alcohol or drugs were found to have contributed to this accident.  The victims' vessel was properly equipped with all the required equipment.  However, a pfd was not worn by the victims.

RedactedNarrative:
On july 24, 2014 at approximately 2:00pm, a boating accident occurred in the harbor cove area on lake norman in mooresville.  Operator1 was preparing to dock in the harbor cove area.  Her son, operator2, was heading northeast traveling between an island and a point on the shoreline.  Both vessels were owned by operator1’s boyfriend.  Vessel 1 was preparing to dock facing northeast when vessel 2 struck vessel 1 on the starboard side. 
 
Vessel 1 was traveling northeast preparing to dock the pwc.  There were 3 people on vessel 1.  Vessel 2 was approaching at a high rate of speed coming from around a point cutting between the mainland and an island.  Vessel 1 did not have time to get out of the way of vessel 2.  Vessel 2 impacted vessel 1 at a sharp angle near the front on the starboard side which caused the stern of vessel 2 to ship around and impact vessel 1 on the back 1/3 starboard side.  When the stern of vessel 2 made contact with vessel 1, it broke the leg of one of the passengers on vessel 1.  All individuals were ejected off their vessels into the water.  The operator of vessel 2 went to shore and ran to get help.  911 was contacted and emergency personnel responded to the scene.

Operator1’s daughter, who was the injured occupant onboard v1, was transported to lake norman hospital and was treated for her injuries.  Due to the blunt force impact, she was checked for other bodily trauma as well.  She was released later that evening after being treated for a broken leg and minor cuts and bruises.  The third passenger on vessel 1 was not injured.  Vessel 2's operator did not get injured in the collision.
 
The analysis of the damage on both pwcs indicated that vessel 2 struck vessel 1 on the starboard side about 1/3 of the way back from the bow at a very sharp angle causing the stern of vessel 2 to whip around and slam into the starboard side of vessel 1.  The amount of fiberglass damage and hull damage caused vessel 1 to be totaled.  There was also fiberglass damage to the hull of vessel 2.  Both operators and passengers were wearing their pfds and kill switch lanyard.  Alcohol was not a contributing factor.

RedactedNarrative:
Operator departed from the marina for a day of fishing with Occupant. They left the marina in Hampstead and traveled North to the Topsail Inlet where they entered the Atlantic Ocean. The weather conditions changed and the seas began to get rougher. Operator decided to come back in Rich's Inlet because of the tides and current ocean conditions. 

Operator was driving the boat when they entered Rich's Inlet.  Occupant was standing on the port side of the center console. Operator was entering Rich's Inlet at about a 45 degree angle to the waves.  A large wave hit the stern port side near where Occupant was standing and flipped the vessel towards the starboard side. 

Once Operator and Occupant were ejected from the vessel, Occupant pushed the capsized vessel towards a shallow area.  Operator was holding on to the vessel while it was being pushed.  Operator began to show signs of hypothermia, so Occupant let go of the vessel to get help.  Shortly after Sea Tow arrived on scene and transported Occupant and Operator back to the ramp where they launched. 

Officer and Sgt. received the call around 11:00 on Saturday April 30th. They launched from the Wrightsville Beach Access Area around 12:15 and arrived at Rich's Inlet around 12:30.  Vessels from Tow Boat US were already in the process of retrieving the capsized vessel.  They made contact with Operator, who was at home changing clothes and self-treating for mild hypothermia.  Operator and Occupant met them at the Hampstead Marina at around 14:00 to start the boat incident paperwork and recover the vessel from Tow Boat US.

Vessel damage included: Center Console ripped off, fiberglass on  the inside of the boat damaged, screws pulled through fiberglass, pedestal seat ripped off, bimini top ripped off, 4- stroke motor submerged in salt water, cowling for motor riped off, batteries damaged

There is noticeable damage to the fiberglass around the pulpit, including nicks on the bottom, where it was struck by another vessel (vessel 2).  Damage also included the inside of the bow cap, where the pulpit is fastened to the vessel to include the electric winch.

Sometime between the 04/22/16 and 04/29/16 an unknown vessel entered the marina and struck the pulpit of vessel.  No reports have been made about the unknown vessel. This marina does not allow transient vessels to use their docks, and there are no security cameras that overlook the marina.

RedactedNarrative:
Vessel 1 was docked in its slip at the Wrightsville Beach Marina. The Captain and first mate of the 18 Reeler (vessel 1) were on the vessel at the time of the incident.  One was below deck in the engine room and the other was inside the cabin. 

Vessel 2 was headed south from Hampstead when they started losing power and ability to steer.  This happened around the wildlife access area, and the vessel drifted under the causeway bridge headed towards Bluewater. Vessel 2 safely made it to the dock in front of Bluewater restaurant.  It was then boarded by the USCG and found to be leaking oil and gas into the engine compartment and bilge area.  The USCG told the operator of Vessel 2 not to move the vessel until the problems had been fixed.  Vessel 2 then proceeded to leave Bluewater restaurant and continue heading south.  Vessel 2 left the dock under power and then lost the transmission and ability to steer for a second time.  This time Vessel 2 drifted bow first into Vessel 1's transom.  The Captain and first mate of Vessel 1 heard the incident and went to see what had happened and assisted vessel 2 in docking safely in front of vessel 1. 

Vessel 1 suffered damage to the tarp that covers the fighting chair and fishing area, along with damage to the stainless steel rub rail that extends from the port stern side of the vessel to the door on the starboard stern side. The rub rail had been dented and pushed into the fiberglass transom. Also, there were two scuffs in the fiberglass approximately three inches long next to the first point of impact.

On may 27, 2016 at 2:30 p.m. I was dispatched by raleigh to a boating accident at sunset beach access area. The call stated that a personal watercraft with two occupants on board had struck a fishing pier at the sunset beach access area.  Raleigh communications first gave information that rescue personnel was administering cpr, then they called back and said “they had called it”.  (denoting fatality).  
 
Proceeding from whiteville to sunset beach wildlife resources commission access area, I arrived at approximately 3:15 pm.  Just after i arrived, sgt. arrived at the access area to assist. Sunset beach fire and rescue, and police personnel had the area closed off, and had witnesses on hand.  Statements were written by the witnesses. 
 
There was damage to the pier, damage to the personal watercraft which was indicated in all of the witnesses statements.  Our investigation determined that (father), and (son) were both on a yamaha waverunner personal watercraft, (wearing pfds).  They had approached the boat ramp pier from the east, headed west.  
 
While at the boat ramp pier the pwc suddenly accelerated, making a right turn towards the mainland bank, then a turn left, back towards the icw.  At that point, the pwc struck the fishing pier at the access area ejecting both occupants. The occupants of the pwc received head trauma and severe lacerations to the head and body.

RedactedNarrative:
On august 14, 2016 at approximately 12:00 midnight, a boating incident occurred on lake norman approximately 2.1 miles northwest of the rusty rudder restaurant at the western side of the island forest drive point in cornelius, nc. The vessel was a 24.5-foot fiberglass 2005 cobalt bow rider with a 375 hp mercruiser inboard/outboard motor.  The boat had a starboard side console and was owned and operated by subject.  The vessel ran aground and struck a concrete retaining wall on the shoreline of the lake. 

According to operator, on august 13, 2016 at approximately 18:00, he and his family went to lineburgers restaurant to eat dinner with some family friends.  He drank one amstel light while waiting to be seated and drank two beers with dinner and might have had a mix drink.  After they were finished eating and socializing, his wife then drove his family back to their house in denver, nc. At approximately 20:30.  Operator decided to go out for a boat ride.  Operator said that his family tried to prevent him from going on a boat ride and talked him into watching a movie because their family was going to carowinds the following morning.  Operator decided to go anyway.   He spent several minutes getting his stern light to turn on and then departed from his dock.  He cruised around the lake near his house attempting to stop at a few of his friends houses to socialize.  None of his friends were around so he decided to go to the rusty rudder restaurant.  When he arrived at the loading dock to the restaurant, the area was heavily congested and he had to wait approximately 30 minutes to dock his boat.  Around 21:30, operator went into the rusty rudder and walked around the bar to see if he recognized anyone there.   He walked outside on the balcony and ran into some mutual friends.  After spending several minutes talking with his friends, operator decided to head back to his house.  The couple he ran into asked him if he was alright to drive home and asked if he wanted them to follow him home.  Operator said that the couple was just being cordial and they did not ask due to his possible impairment.  He then went to the loading dock at the rusty rudder and untied his boat to begin his travel back to his house.  This was at approximately 22:30. Once he passed the no wake zone buoy leaving the rusty rudder, he said he must have blacked out because he does not remember anything that followed.  Operator also noted that he had taken anti-anxiety medication sertraline, commonly known as zoloft, around 14:00 on august 13, 2016. 

*note*   operator also mentioned that he had taken his 24.5-foot, 2005 cobalt bowrider to the local marina earlier that summer to have some repairs done to the vessel.  He was unable to have his motor idling issue fixed.  He stated that when his rpms would reach 3500, the motor would cut off.  In regards to whether or not motor failure resulted in the cause of the boating incident, confirmation of the motor failure was unable to be determined.  Operator was aware of the motor issue and was aware not to throttle the engine above 3500 rpms. 

According to operator, he came to later that morning on august 14, 2016 around 06:00 and realized that something had happened.  He was unable to move around inside the boat due to substantial injuries.  He said he blacked out again.  Several minutes later around sunrise (06:42) his cell phone began ringing with his daughter's ringtone causing him to regain consciousness.  He made several attempts to locate the cell phone but was unsuccessful.  He said that he could hear several boats pass by, including a couple of kayakers.  But he decided not to call out for help so that he could conserve his energy.  At approximately 10:00 someone came down to the bow of the boat from the shoreline to offer assistance.  They called 911 and asked if he wanted them to call someone from his family to notify them that he had been involved in an accident.  He gave them his wife's cell phone number.  Several minutes later rescue personnel arrived on scene and transported him to carolina medical center main campus in charlotte nc.

According to operator's wife, their family left their house on august 13, 2016 at approximately 17:30 to meet some family friends for dinner at lineburgers restaurant.  Once they arrived at linbergers, operator had a couple of beers and a couple of vodka drinks at dinner.  Wife said that they left the restaurant at approximately 19:30.  She said around 20:30, her husband said he was going to go for a boat ride and attempted to get others to go with him including his 11 year old daughter.  She said she told him that if he took their daughter with him she would call the police.  Wife then said operator left on his boat with a beer in hand.  She believed that he was going to go to the rusty rudder restaurant on the lake.  She did not hear anything back from him all night.  She was then contacted later the next morning 8/15/16 at approximately 10:00 that he had been involved in a boat accident.  Before wife went to the hospital to be with her husband, she took her daughter to the scene of the accident to show her what could have happened if she was on board the boat.  She said that her daughter always rides up front near the bow.

According to a witness and the property owner where the boating incident took place, she heard a loud noise at approximately midnight the morning of 8/14/16.  She said that she went outside to see what caused the noise.  She knew that it happened at midnight because she remembered seeing a papa john's delivery vehicle delivering pizza to a neighbor.  She spoke with the delivery personnel to attempt to locate the cause of the noise but was unable to see or hear anything.  She went to bed shortly afterwards.  Around 10:00 8/14/16, she walked from her house, two houses over to check on her property.  She then noticed operator's vessel had struck the concrete retaining wall on her property.  She then went down to the shoreline and spoke with operator to offer assistance and called 911 and his wife.

We collected information from the responding police officers and the witness.  We took photos of the damaged vessel, damaged personal property and inspected the boating safety items of the vessel.  

Lab results concluded bac level was less than .01 over 11 hours after the incident.  He tested positive for cocaine and benzodiazepines (anti anxiety meds).

It appears the direct cause of this incident stems from operator's reckless and negligent operation of a vessel along with the amount of alcohol consumed and medications and possible drug use was a direct factor.

On 9/2/16 he was charged with reckless/negligent operation of a vessel in a manner so as to endanger life limb or property ncgs 75a-10(a).

RedactedNarrative:
On october 29, 2016 at approximately 2:00pm, a boating incident occurred on lake norman between lateral marker 2 and the peninsula yacht club. The vessel was a 2005, 10'10” bombardier rxt personal watercraft being operated.  Operator1 was operating the personal watercraft outside of the peninsula yacht club cove as a large yacht passed by.  The yacht created a large wake which operator1 ramped up and over.  As the personal watercraft landed, the impact caused operator1 to collide with the handlebar of the watercraft and he was ejected from the vessel. 

October 29, 2016 was a clear sunny day on lake norman with calm water conditions.  Operator1 stated that he was drifting outside of the peninsula yacht club cove when a large yacht passed him at a high rate of speed.  Operator1 said that he navigated away from the large yacht, but still collided with the wake that it created.  He ramped up and over the wake and subsequently landed very abruptly.  This caused operator1 to collide with the handlebar and become ejected from the vessel.  Subject was operating a personal watercraft in the same area as operator1 and witnessed some of the events leading up to the incident.  Subject stated that he was jumping the wake approximately 150 yards behind the large yacht and that he turned around and observed operator1 also jumping the wake.  He stated that he turned back around to look towards operator1 and he was in the water.  Subject was able to navigate to operator1 and offer assistance.  Subject pulled operator1 onto his personal watercraft, tied up to operator1's watercraft and transported operator1 back to his residence.  Operator1's left arm was injured during the incident.  Subject stated that he called emergency services while transporting operator1 back to his residence.  Emergency services arrived at 17100 green dolphin ln. In cornelius and transported operator1 to huntersville presbyterian hospital at 10030 gilead rd. In huntersville. 

It appeared as though this incident was a result of operator1 ramping a large vessel's wake and abruptly landing.  As the vessel landed, operator1's body still had forward momentum causing him to collide with the handlebar and become ejected from the vessel. This incident could have been prevented by slowing appropriately when encountering large vessel wakes.  As a result of this incident, operator1 was charged with having not met the north carolina boating safety education requirements and for operating a vessel in which the certificate of number was not in full force and effect.

On October 2, 2016, the vessel “Favorite Subject” 32 foot Luhrs Convertible hit the rocky shoreline at approximately 1:23 PM as reported by witnesses.  They reported seeing the vessel seconds before it came ashore traveling straight into the bank.  The operator stated he was traveling approximately 14 knots (16 miles an hour).  

Once the vessel struck the rock bank, the engines continued to run and no one on board had come out of the cabin and the operator was still sitting in his chair.  Witnesses ran down to the docks and instructed the operator to turn off the engines. 

 After running for approximately 4 minutes in little to no water, the operator finally got the engines turned off.   After a short period, occupant finally stepped off of the vessel and walked along the dock to shore.  

The passenger2 came out from the cabin area a few minutes later. Shortly after the Craven County Sheriff's Department and EMS arrived on scene.  

Officer and I arrived on scene.  Neither occupant had any idea what had happened, and both had stated that they had fallen asleep on the return trip from Swansboro Yacht Club which was approximately 61 miles away.  

Both the operator and passenger showed signs of impairment.  After completing Sobriety Testing, the operator was placed under arrest for operating under the influence of an impairing substance and reckless and negligent operation of a motorboat.  During the testing, the operator stated that the incident would end up costing him $150,000.00 and would probably total the boat that cost him $25,000.00.

RedactedNarrative:
On 10/28/2016 at approximately 2220 hrs,  a boating incident occurred on Auman Lake at the Dam (35.2387, -79.6038) in West End, NC 27376. The vessel was an 18-foot, 1998 Ventura Eighteen Boston Whaler with a 135 hp Mercury Optimax (Offshore) outboard motor. The vessel had a starboard side console and was owned and operated by subject.  The bow of the vessel struck the Auman Lake Dam throwing everyone within the vessel forward towards the bow.

Operator1 had been driving to multiple locations on the lake turning the motor off and would talk and tell stories with the three others onboard the vessel.  At around 2215 hrs on 10/28/2016 Operator1's wife called Operator1's cell phone and asked when they were coming back.  Around this time, Operator1 decided to head home and instead of turning towards his home, he traveled towards the Auman Dam.  

Operator1 estimated that the vessel was traveling 10-20 MPH.  The vessel suddenly came to a stop throwing all passengers forward towards the bow of the vessel.   (operator) stated that when he went to go back towards the house, he was not in the location that he thought he was in, and that he was not wearing his glasses.  The vessel ran aground and came to a rest on the guard rail on the north side of Long Leaf Drive.  Everyone on board checked to see if everyone was alive and then called 911 and waited for help to arrive. 

All onboard the vessel sustained injuries beyond first aid except for one.  Three of the four victims were taken to the Moore Regional Hospital for treatment of their injuries.  

One occupant was released a few hours later with a broken right foot.  (operator) sustained multiple head injuries, a mild concussion, remained hospitalized for several days and was finally released on 11/03/2016.  The second occupant sustained a broken neck, lacerated spleen, broken ribs, and punctured both lungs.  He remained hospitalized for several days and was finally released on 11/03/2016. 

The initial analysis of the vessel after the incident revealed major damage to the bow and hull. The bow was punctured and had major gouge damage to the fiberglass along with the hull had major scratches both from the impact with a fixed object. All three propeller blades were bent, the lower unit was chipped from striking the rock wall of the Auman Dam. The steering cables were intact with no noticeable damage.

It appeared as though the vessel struck the Auman Dam which resulted in major damage to the hull approximately three feet down from the bow eye mainly on the starboard side of the vessel, along with bending all three propeller blades and chipping the lower unit.  The abrupt impact forced the four men forward towards the bow resulting in contact with a fixed object.  This appeared to be the fault of Operator1 (operator) due to being under the influence of an impairing substance, not wearing his prescribed glasses, and traveling at a high rate of speed during limited visibility.

 A court order has been requested from the Moore County District Attorney's office for operator’s medical records.  At this time, I am waiting for the court order to be approved. 

Pending further investigation he has not been charged at this time.

RedactedNarrative:
On Saturday, November 12th, at approximately 2:15pm, Operator and Occupant were headed south on the Cape Fear River coming from Black River Cove headed to Castle St. in Wilmington.  Operator was driving his bass boat and had just went under the powerlines south of the old Dupont ditch when he struck a submerged object.  

Operator estimated his speed at about 60 mph, when he struck the object.  Both Operator and Occupant were ejected from the vessel at the time of impact when their vessel made a sharp turn and neither were wearing a PFD. Once in the water, they both headed towards the southern shore of the river.  After making it to land, Operator decided to re-enter the river to retrieve a cell phone that was in the vessel.  Operator swam out to the vessel using a log as a floatation device.  Operator reached the vessel and pulled himself inside where he retrieved the cell phone.  

Operator dialed 911 and reported the situation before he lost service.  (witness) was also headed toward Castle St. in Wilmington when he rounded the corner where the incident occurred. Witness noticed two men in distress and immediately rendered aid and took the injured Occupant back to the boat ramp in Wilmington.  Once back on land, New Hanover EMS took Occupant to New Hanover Regional Medical Center for possible broken ribs and hypothermia.  Witness then returned to the scene of the incident and took Operator to the boat ramp.  When Operator arrived at the ramp, he was interviewed by EMS but refused to be transported to New Hanover Regional Medical Center. 

Operator' vessel was towed back to the ramp at Castle St. by New Hanover County Fire Department.  The motor of his vessel was underneath the hull when the fire department arrived, and during the tow back, the motor fell off the boat completely.  Also, the power pole on the port side of the motor was damaged during the incident.

RedactedNarrative:
ON MONDAY APRIL 18, 2016 AT APPROXIMATELY 3:45 PM, A SINGLE VESSEL ACCIDENT OCCURRED ON FALLS LAKE RESULTING IN ONE FATALITY AND ONE INJURY. THE APPROXIMATE LOCATION WAS JUST WEST OF THE HWY 50 BRIDGE  ANDTO THE NORTH OF AN ISLAND LOCATED IN BETWEEN THE HWY 50 BRIDGE AND ROLLING VIEW MARINA. 

THE OPERATOR, OPERATOR#1, AGE 69, AND HIS PASSENGER, PASSENGER#1, AGE 54, WERE TRAVELING WEST TOWARDS THE HWY 50 BRIDGE IN OPERATOR#1'S 1990 RANGER BASS BOAT, ON PLANE, TO A COVE TO CONTINUE FISHING. THEY HAD BEEN RECREATIONAL FISHING IN ANOTHER COVE AND DECIDED TO CHANGE LOCATIONS. THE LAKE THAT DAY WAS VERY CALM WITH LITTLE TO NO WIND AND VERY LITTLE BOAT TRAFFIC.  ACCORDING TO FIVE WITNESSES THAT WERE INTERVIEWED, IT APPEARS THAT OPERATOR#1'S BOAT MADE AN ABRUPT RIGHT TURN, EJECTING BOTH OPERATOR#1 AND PASSENGER#1 OUT THE PORT SIDE OF THE VESSEL. IT IS STILL UNCERTAIN AS TO WHY EXACTLY THE ABRUPT RIGHT TURN WAS MADE BUT ACCORDING THE PASSENGER, PASSENGER#1, THEY HIT A WAKE. NO ONE EVER SAW OPERATOR#1 SURFACE.  THERE WAS A CENTER CONSOLE VESSEL TROLLING THE MIDDLE OF THE CHANNEL NEARBY AND THE WITNESSES ABOARD WERE ABLE TO THROW PASSENGER#1 A TYPE IV AND PULL HER SAFELY ABOARD THEIR VESSEL. SHORTLY AFTER, ANOTHER NEARBY WITNESS WAS ABLE TO JUMP ABOARD OPERATOR#1'S VESSEL THAT WAS STILL IN MOTION DOING CIRCLES UP THE LAKE AND SAFELY TURN OFF THE VESSEL. WAKE COUNTY SHERIFF DEPARTMENT AND BAYLEAF FIRE DEPARTMENT WERE THE FIRST RESPONDERS TO ARRIVE ON SCENE. THEY WERE ABLE TO GET PASSENGER#1 BACK TO THE HWY 50 RAMP TO RECEIVE MEDICAL ATTENTION AND TO BE TRANSPORTED TO THE HOSPITAL.  THE SEARCH CONTINUED INTO THE NIGHT FOR OPERATOR#1. OPERATOR#1'S BODY; IT WAS RECOVERED SIX DAYS LATER AFTER SURFACING. 

PASSENGER#1 WAS HOSPITALIZED FOR FIVE DAYS DUE TO HER INJURIES WHICH INCLUDED: WATER IN THE LUNGS FROM NEAR DROWNING, A MILD HEART ATTACK WHILE IN THE WATER, A TORN ROTARY CUFF, A HERNIATED DISK IN HER BACK, CRACKED RIBS ON HER RIGHT SIDE, BRUISING ON HER LEFT SIDE, AND A SMALL HEMATOMA ON THE BACK OF HER BRAIN.
OPERATOR#1 WAS STRUCK BY THE PROPELLER WITH SEVERAL LACERATIONS ON HIS LEFT ARM AND CHEST (SEE IMAGE 4). 

THE BOAT HAD MINIMAL DAMAGE WITH A SECTION OF THE PORT SIDE RAILING AND PLASTIC AROUND THE GAS CAP MISSING FROM WHERE PASSENGER#1 HIT UPON EJECTION FROM THE VESSEL (SEE IMAGES 1and2). THERE WAS ALSO A SECTION OF OPERATOR#1'S SHIRT IN THE PROPELLER (SEE IMAGE 3). 

BASED ON THE INVESTIGATION I CONDUCTED AND AFTER INTERVIEWING THE WITNESSES INCLUDING PASSENGER#1, IT IS STILL UNCERTAIN WHY OPERATOR#1 MADE AN ABRUPT RIGHT TURN CAUSING THE VESSEL TO HEEL DRAMATICALLY AND TO EJECT BOTH PASSENGERS. NO CHARGES WERE FILED, NO ALCOHOL WAS INVOLVED, AND ALL THE SAFETY EQUIPMENT WAS ABOARD.  NEITHER VICTIM WAS WEARING A LIFE JACKET AT THE TIME OF THE INCIDENT.

RedactedNarrative:
On August 6, 2017, four people had planned on renting a pontoon boat from CS Rentals of Lake Norman to spend an afternoon cruising Lake Norman, a trip they had been planning for weeks.  Three people were co-workers who worked at a delivery company based out of Charlotte, while the fourth was a friend of one subject.  

Around 1:20pm, the group stopped at the Target in Huntersville, where Subject1 purchased a pair of board shorts and a knife (as evident by the Target receipt dated 8/6/17 at 1:21pm).  Per the rental agreement signed by Subject2i, the group departed CS Rentals located at 1459 River Highway at 2:00pm and were scheduled to return by 6:00pm.  

The group spent the majority of their 4-hour rental cruising the lake, while intermittently stopping to swim at various locations.  Around 5:30pm, the boat now being operated by Subject1, departed the area near the Blue Parrot Grill located at 169 Pinnacle Lane.  The boat then cruised under the Highway 150 Bridge and began to head back to CS Rentals.  Around 5:45pm, the group stopped the boat near a shoal marker that is approximately 300 yards from the point at the end of High Hills Drive.  Because the boat rental still had 15 minutes remaining before it had to be returned, Subject1 and Subject2 decided to go for one last swim.   Note: the boat was not at anchor and was drifting.  
Both Subject1 and Subject2 jumped from the rear platform of the boat into the water at roughly the same time.  Subject1 was reported to have surfaced momentarily after jumping in, but then sank below the waterline and never resurfaced.  When Subject2 and the other 2 passengers realized Subject1 had not resurfaced, they began to panic.  Over the course of 5-10 minutes after the 2 jumped in the water, the pontoon boat floated in front of the dock.  The commotion of the group's panic was heard by multiple residents of High Hills Drive, who immediately came to the group's aid.  Some of the witnesses jumped into the water in an effort locate Subject1.  One of the witnesses instructed the group to throw out the anchor on the pontoon boat where it came to rest approximately 30 yards directly in front of the dock.
During the investigation, Sergeant observed (8) 16oz Miller Lite empty beer cans and (1) unopened Miller Lite beer can onboard the pontoon boat.
Over the course of the next 2 days, multiple law enforcement agencies and local fire/rescue squads rallied efforts to recover Subject1.  On Tuesday morning, 8/8/17, a resident of High Hills Drive discovered Subject1 floating in one cove to the east of the initial search zone. 
Subject1 was recovered then transported to Baptist Hospital where he underwent an autopsy to determine cause of death.  The findings suggest that there was no trauma, and the cause of death was ruled a drowning.  Toxicology results yielded at 0.02 BAC.

On Saturday, July 22, 2017 at 1300, Met USFW Officer at Manteo Access Area.  Officer informed me of a missing boater in the Currituck Sound in the area of Duck, NC.  With USFW, I patrolled to Duck looking for the missing person.  I talked to Officer with Duck Police Department and she informed me that Subject was operating vessel 1.  Subject was towing two people on a tube.  

As they were being towed by the pontoon boat at a slow speed, the tube hit a wave and flipped the subjects off the tube.  Tuber1 was wearing a life jacket and Tuber2 was not.   Tuber1 didn't know how to swim and began to panic and yelling “help me I''m drowning”.   So Tuber2 attempted to calm Tuber1 and get him to float on his back.  
At that point, Subject jumped into the water to assist Tuber1.  Subject, who was not wearing a life jacket, reached Tuber1 seconds later.  Tuber2 could climb back into the pontoon boat where he attempted to steer the boat towards Tuber1 and Subject's position.   Subject2 then saw her husband floating in the water.  She jumped in the water on the opposite side of the pontoon boat from her husband's location, but when she swam around to the last known position of her husband, she was unable to find him.  Tuber1, who was still in the water during this time, recalled hearing Subject say "Oh God", before he disappeared from his sight.  Subject was found the next day by a renter. 

No violations of the law were detected.  Alcohol was present in the decedent’s body.

RedactedNarrative:
According to witnesses at the scene, Operator1 was operating his vessel on the Intracoastal Waterway near the town of Holden Beach at approximately 1830 hours on April 30, 2017.  Operator1 was heading east towards Holden Beach when he met a large vessel on the waterway.  The vessel was producing a substantial wake according to Operator1.  He stated that when his vessel made contact with the wake, it caused his boat to turn sharply and he was thrown out of the vessel and as he was being ejected, he claims to have hit the side of his face on the side of the boat, which resulted in his injury.  Witness statements showed Operator1 almost hitting a channel marker and swerving toward the shore and running aground.  
It appears that alcohol played a part in this incident.  Operator1 was arrested and charged with Operating While Impaired and submitted to the intoximeter with a result of 0.08 BAC six hours after the arrest.  The vessel was equipped with the required safety equipment.

RedactedNarrative:
On July 4, 2017, at approximately 3:00 p.m., operator was operating a rented PWC on the Intracoastal Waterway near Southport.  It appears that Operator1 was operating the PWC heading west toward Holden Beach when he impacted a large wave or possibly a wake.  
Due to the rate of speed at which Operator1 was traveling, he was launched high into the air and when the vessel came back down Operator1 came down hard and impacted the steering controls with his head/face. 
He was knocked momentarily unconscious and ended up in the water.  Two companions who were traveling with Operator1 got him out of the water and called for assistance.  They did not witness the cause of the incident only saw Operator1 in the water face down and responded.   
Operator1 was transported via ambulance to New Hanover Regional Medical Hospital where he was treated for a minor brain bleed, facial fracture and lacerations to his left cheek.   Alcohol was not involved nor was it a contributing factor in this incident.  
Operator1 was wearing a USCG approved PFD at the time of the incident and the vessel was equipped with all necessary safety equipment.   Due to his injury, Operator1 had no recollection of what caused the incident.  However, it would appear that he impacted a water condition that caused the PWC to ramp and launch high enough into the air to cause him to lose control and come down onto the PWC which resulted in his injuries.  No charges were filed in this particular incident.

On January 3, 2018, operator and his two friends departed from Smith Creek Access Area near Aurora in Beaufort County.  Due to the weather conditions, the creek was frozen with a solid sheet of ice over the water.  Occupant1 was standing on the front of the boat breaking the ice so that the vessel was able to maneuver to the mouth of the creek.  Occupant1 fell from the front of the boat and went under the ice.  Both operator and occupant2 assisted Occupant1 back into the vessel and called 911 due to the fact that Occupant1 was hypothermic and having trouble breathing.  Once back at ramp, the Beaufort County EMS arrived on scene.  Occupant1 was transported to East Carolina Medical Center in New Bern.  Occupant1 was discharged from the hospital five days later.

Accident occurred as vessel 1 was traveling south across the main channel.  The operator bounced over another vessel's wake causing fishing gear to bounce inside the vessel. Operator 1 momentarily let go of the steering wheel and attempted to catch the fishing gear.  Vessel 1 jolted sideways, ejecting operator 1.  The kill switch activated upon the ejection of operator 1 and the vessel came to a stop, but was partially swamped.  Vessel 1 rapidly filled with water and capsized.

Operator 1 was distracted by loose fishing gear bouncing inside vessel 1.  The momentary distraction caused operator 1 to release control of the steering wheel which resulted in the vessel hooking right and ejecting operator 1.

The crash occurred as operator 1 failed to pay attention while operating vessel one. In doing so, operator 1 traveled into the path and struck vessel two. Operator one was not paying attention to oncoming vessels and did not allow enough time to make evasive maneuver to avoid the collision against the strong current.

Operator 1 was cruising upstream behind another vessel.  The vessel in front of them turned to the right towards the east bank and started slowing down.  Operator 1 stated he turned left to avoid the vessel slowing down in front of him.  

Operator 1 stated he saw another vessel traveling downstream coming towards them.  Operator 1 turned left but vessel two turned right.  Impact occurred when the bow of vessel one collided with the bow of vessel two.  Vessel 1 traveled up onto the bow of vessel 2.
