On 9-10-11 at approx 1230 hrs, Operator1 was driving a 16 foot boat on the ohio river when he struck a wave and was thrown from the boat. Occupant was a passenger in the boat and was also thrown from the boat. The boat continued running and ultimately wound up on the indiana side of the river coming to rest on two boats moored at the turtle creek marina. Both occupants were rescued from the river.
	
Trooper stated he had already ran the driver of the runabout on his pbt and he tested .02. Neither of the two men complained of any injuries which may have been caused by the accident. The small runabout was sitting on its trailer when i arrived. I then took statements from all four persons involved.

Deputy photographed the damaged boats. The small runabout was obviously totaled. The houseboat had severe damage to the front railing and overhead ceiling on the bow. The yacht suffered minor scratches to the port bow.  

On 9-11-11 i returned to the harbor and photographed all three boats and the scene of the accident. While talking with several people at the harbor, they advised Operator1 liked to drive the small runabout really fast on the river but no one had observed that behavior on 9-10-11.
