I received a call from troopers posts of a 10-50. I responded to Mcfarland park and both parties was there except the operator of vessel #1. TVA Police advised me that Operator1 had been airlifted to Huntsville Hospital due to his injuries. Lt. met me there also. I gave everyone involved in the accident a witness statements and asked if they would fill the forms out, give there statement and try to draw what happened. All the statements reported advised that vessel number two was traveling in the channel near the rock pile and boat ramp heading towards Wilson Dam and tried to pass vessel #1 swerving toward the rock pile. I asked OPerator2 if he came off plane. He advised that he did not. I asked V1 subject if their boat was anchored. She advised that they was drifting, but not anchored. I asked V1 subject if her husband fell off the boat or if he jumped, she said he fell after their boat hit. She advised that they were screaming and waving their arms before they were hit. The passenger in vessel #2 advised that she heard the screaming before there boat hit operator1. I waited until Operator1 could talk to me before getting his statement. I met him at his residence after he got home from the hospital. He advised that they was fishing near the rock pile and saw a boat coming towards them fast, and he told his wife to jump but can't remember anything until he woke up in the ambulance.
