RedactedNarrative: BASED ON INFORMATION TO DATE:  On Monday May 31, 2010 at approximately 17:50 Officer  with Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency received a call about a boating accident involving injuries that occurred inside the mouth of Beaverdam Creek cove.  Officers responded  to the call and arrived at Beaverdam Marina at approximately 18:00.  Upon arrival, the officers were notified that the operator of V2, a 2006 SeaDoo PWC, had been driven to the hospital.  Operator2 had one occupant on the PWC with him.  A statement was collected from Occupant on V2.  Officer  spoke with Officer2 by phone and requested that Officer2 go to the hospital to obtain information on Operator2's condition and to also get his statement if practicable.  The operator of V1, a 2001 Polar Craft jon boat was identified.  Operator1 had four other occupants in his vessel..  Statements were obtained from Operator1, and occupants.  One more occupant had gone to the hospital when Operator2 went, and she was interviewed by Officer  at the hospital.  
       According to witness statements a storm had blown up and V1 and V2 had both left from sand island and headed west toward Beaverdam cove to get out of the storm and rain.  The rain was causing serious visibility issues and both operators stated that they could hardly see just a few feet beyond the bow of their vessels.  V2 had come through the mouth of the cove and then cut to the left.  V2 encountered a wave on the right side that caused both occupants to be thrown from the PWC.  The kill switch was connected and effectively killed the engine.  V1 was following close behind, unknowingly, because he could not see V2 due to the hard rain.  Before either occupant of V2 could come up to the surface, V1 had driven through them striking Operator2 and then subsequently colliding with V2.  V1 was unaware that he had struck Operator2, and did not see V2 until it was too late to avoid hitting it.  Operator1 then saw Operator2 and Occupant on V2 in the water behind him and could tell Operator2 was hurt.  V1 then turned around and two occupants of V1 jumped in the water and helped Operator2 get back on the PWC and then helped him step over into V1.   V1 then took Operator2 to Beaverdam Marina where he got into a POV and rode to the hospital.
