Based on operator and witness statements, The operator, P1, was driving his vessel North on Chickamauga Lake outside of the navigation channel when he collided with a dock.  His boat did proceed all the way through the wooden dock and out the other side.  The collision was heard by some parties who rushed to the scene from a nearby home on the lake.  Upon their arrival, the vessel did flee the area with the witnesses following.  P1's vessel did run out of gas soon after he left the scene.  The parties who were following him did assist them by towing them to Harrison Bay State Park and call 911.  The arriving sheriff's deputy did recognize that it was a boating accident and called me to work the crash.  P1 was subsequently arrested for Boating under the Influence after he did admit to being the driver at the time of the crash.
