Watercraft #1 was docking. The operator accelerated and struck his starboard side against the port side of Watercraft #2, which was already tied to the dock but still occupied by it's operator. The operator of watercraft #1 tried to stop the collision with his hand. His boat crushed his right thumb, causing a 2-day stay at the hospital. No report was made at the time of the incident, but the owner/operator of watercraft #2 called the sheriff's office on 7/16. Contact was made with operator #1 on 7/18. He stated he did not report the incident due to the time delay and, because it was witnessed, figured someone would have already reported it and would contact him for follow-up. He stated he had been drinking and admitted to 3 alcoholic beverages throughout the day. There was minimal damage to the two watercraft.
