RedactedNarrative: On Thursday, June 17, 2010 at approximately 3:15 P.M. Officer Dave Cruser and I investigated a boat crash at Raccoon Lake. The crash occurred near Walker Ramp idle zone. 
     Operator1 stated they were near the buoys for Walker Boat Ramp.  They said they were drifting at the time of the crash.  They had put on the lake at approximately 11:30 A.M.  Operator1 and wife said they were in the boat with their twins. At the time of the crash all four of them were in the boat.  One subject  just came off the tube they were pulling and they were getting the other twin ready to go out on the tube.  Operator1 and wife said they noticed the boat coming at them and tried to get the other boats attention by honking their horn, screaming and waving their arms.  They said the other boat did not change its course.  One twin jumped off the back of the boat and the other three jumped off the front of the boat.  The other boat struck their boat in the starboard side just behind the steering console.  The steering console was pulled from the base, the windshield was completely destroyed and the boat has a large hole in the starboard side.  wife stated she lost her Bulova watch in the crash.  She described it with a gold and silver band and with a diamond face.  wife valued the watch at $375.00.  operator1 was given his watch back.  His watch was located on boat two on the port side.  Operatro1's watch had a broken crystal on it and he said it was not broken before the crash.  Operator1 was given a portable breath test and the results indicated .000.  There was no alcohol on boat1.  One cooler was located containing food, water and other drinks.  
     Operator2 stated he put on Raccoon Lake at about 2:30 P.M.  He stated he was not boating very long before he had the crash.  Operator2 said his throttle was about half way.  He could not estimate how fast he was going.  Operator2 stated he was messing with a radio he just installed and the two females with him were blocking his forward view.  He said he looked to the right and to the left and only saw a few boats on the water.  Operator2 said he should have slowed down when he realized he could not see forward.  He also stated he never saw the other boat and only knew it was there after he had the crash.  When Operator2 arrived back at the main ramp he let his two female passengers leave the scene.  He said they wanted to get medical treatment in Indianapolis.  When I asked him for any information about them he only knew their first names.   Operator2's boat had minor damage to the fiberglass on the front of the boat, the impact area of boat two.  There was glass on the floor; it was the windshield from boat1.  A small rubber strap was wrapped around the outboard portion of the motor.  Operator2 said it happened during the impact of the crash.  He said the boat would not run after the crash.  Operator2 was given a portable breath test and the results indicated .054.  Operator2 stated he only drank one Mike's Hard Lemonade while boating.  He said he did not drink anything else.  There were three coolers on Operator2's boat.  One cooler contained all alcohol, one cooler contained two large bottles of alcohol and some soft drinks and the third cooler contained ice.
