ON JULY 4, 2013, THERE WAS A BOATING ACCIDENT ON THE ICW NEAR THE OAK ISLAND BRIDGE.  Operator1 WAS OPERATING HIS 17FT DYNASTY WHEN HE WAS STRUCK FROM BEHIND BY A LARGER VESSEL.  THIS ACCIDENT OCCURRED AFTER THE FIREWORKS IN SOUTH PORT.  Operator1 WAS STRUCK FROM BEHIND WHILE HEADING BACK TO BLUE WATER POINT.  THE LARGER VESSEL NEVER SLOWED DOWN AND DUE TO ALL THE TRAFFIC, NOBODY WAS ABLE TO IDENTIFY THE VESSEL THAT STRUCK Operator1.  Operator1 WAS ABLE TO DOCK HIS BOAT AT OAK ISLAND ACCESS AREA WHERE WE FILLED OUT THE ACCIDENT REPORT.  NO ONE WAS INJURED IN THIS ACCIDENT.
