The young operator and the passenger of a 20 foot Bayliner had both been drinking when they smashed full speed into a dam embankment at the end of Deep Creek Lake, Maryland late at night.   The Bayliner came to rest on top of the dam.  Neither occupant had been injured and they were found at home early the next morning by the NRP investigator who determined that the operator had been drinking.  He was charged with OWI as well as negligent operation and underage possession of alcohol.  The vessel damage was over $18,000.
