RedactedNarrative: On 06-09-13 at approximately 10:00 a.m., I (CPO) received information from Sgt. of a boat accident.  The accident occurred on East Fork Lake on 06-08-13 at about 8:30 p.m.
     On 06-09-13 at about 11:00 a.m., CPO and I met with operator2.  Operator2 stated that about 8:20 p.m., he was being towed in his boat (1987 Bumble Bee-IL8574KD) by operator3 in a Bass Cat (IL4625KN).  V2 occupant was a passenger in the Bass Cat.  Operator2''s cranking battery was dead and his outboard would not start.  Operator2 was being towed by Operator3 along the south bank in an east direction near Cypress Road.  Both boats had the required navigation lights on.  Operator2 had an additional white light on his cell phone turned on.  Operator2 saw an approaching boat on plane coming up behind him in a north-east  direction.   Operator2 stood up near the stern waved his hands and yelled for the boat to stop.  The boat did not hear or see Operator2''s or the tow boat.  Operator2 jumped over-board just prior to the boat (2004 17'' Smokercraft-IL4328JW) crashing into his.  The Smokercraft''s bow hit the Bumble Bee outboard at the stern.  The driver of the Smokercraft threw Operator2 a type 4 PFD.  
  
  Operator2 boarded the Smokercraft.  No one was injured.  Operator2''s boat was taking on water.  Operator2 boarded Good sam''s boat.  Operator3''s boat would not start.  Good sam towed Operator2''s boat to boat ramp and trailered it.  All subjects met at the boat ramp.  Operator2 called Olney PD and informed them of the accident.  Olney PD advised him a CPO would contact them later.  Operator2 and Operator1 exchanged information.  CPO  photographed the damage to Operator2''s boat.  Damage to the outboard, stern, cracks at the deck and the hull was damaged as it was taking on water.  Operator2 provided me with the attached statement.
     On 06-09-13 at about 12:30 p.m., CPO and I met with Operator1 at his residence.  Officer photographed the damage to Operator1'' boat.  (Damage to bow area).  Operator1 stated he and two others had been fishing out of his boat (IL4328JW-Smokercraft).  At about 9:00 p.m. they quit fishing.  Operator1 powered the boat onto plane and quickly crashed into Operator2''s boat.  Operator1 was traveling east.  Operator1 said he did not see or hear anyone.  Operator1 said he did not think the navigation lights were displayed on the Operator2 boat or the towing boat.  Operator1 provided the attached statement.  Operator1'' inattention and excessive speed contributed to the accident.
