Vessel # 1 was traveling northbound in Big Kowaliga Creek. Vessel #2 was traveling westbound in Big Kowaliga Creek going towards Parker Creek. Vessel #1 failed to maintain a proper lookout and failed to yield to vessel #2 which was on the starboard side of vessel #1. The driver of vessel #1 stated that he did not see vessel #2, until it was too late and attempted to swerve and avoid vessel #2. That's when Operator1 struck Vessel #2 on the port side.   Operator2 stated that he had just left his house and traveled a few hundred yards into the lake when he noticed vessel #1. Operator2 said that vessel #1 was coming straight towards him and he immediately stopped his boat and attempted to get the drivers attention to avoid an accident. Both vessels left the scene prior to my arrival. I was notified about the accident by Sgt.. Myself and Lt. were able to locate both vessels a short time later.
