Vessel 1 was traveling northwest on Lake Coeur d'Alene near Lowmeister Bay.  The operator indicated that he had been driving back from Harrison heading northwest into his bay (Cleland Bay) and was traveling 25-30 miles per hour.  The operator had reached down to grab his phone so he could take a picture of a house.  As he bent over he turned the boat left (west) and collided with a dock.  The boat hit and glanced off a piling and ramped up on top of the dock, then came to a stop on the dock out of the water.  The operator indicated he sustained numerous injuries (severely sprained right ankle, torn ligaments in right knee, bruising on the left side of his back, torn rotator cuff and mild concussion).  The operator was knocked unconscious for approximately 1-2 minutes.  This accident occurred on 8/2/10 and was not reported until 8/8/10, the operator was cited for failing to report an accident.
