RedactedNarrative: According to statements taken, V1 was sitting still in Hot Springs Creek near Bayshore Cove facing north with its navigational lights on.  V2 was underway with its navigational lights on traveling north east.  V2 operator stated he did not see V1 until it was too late to avoid a collision.  V2 struck V1 on the port side bow and continued on and over V1 causing extensive damage to both sides of V1's bow.  All occupants of V1 were able to either dive into the floor of V1 or were already seated in the rear of the vessel at the time of impact except the victim who was sitting in the bow on the port side. 
  
  The navigational lights from V1 were collected as evidence and sent to the AR State Crime Lab for analysis to determine whether or not they were actually on.  Crime Lab processing is backlogged at this time and results are not expected for at least 6 to 8 weeks possibly longer; therefore the case will remain open until we can determine if lighting may have been a cause/factor in this accident.
   
  UPDATE: 01-06-14 - RESULTS STILL PENDING AT THE CRIME LAB.  FOR USCG STATISTICAL PURPOSES, THIS REPORT WILL BE CLOSED AND SUBMITTED FOR APPROVAL.
