RedactedNarrative: At this time I have not been able to speak to either of the operators. The boat operator fled the scene and the jet ski operator was transported to UAB hospital by ambulance. From the evidence and the witness statements the vessels were traveling in the same direction (up river) and collided.
  
  7/4/2013 After talking to both operators I was unable to determine who was at fault. Both operators advised they were traveling up river together and noticed the other vessel getting close too late to avoid the accident. Vessel #1 made
  a sharp turn in front of Vessel #2  - sharp
  turn contributed to accident-  She also 
  admitted Alcohol Use to the investigating officer at the time of the accident.
