The following boating accident occurred on July 19, 2009, at approximately 0025 hours.

The operator of vessel 1, after consuming alcohol, decided to take a passenger out on a PWC that was docked at the hotel owned by the operator's parents.  The operator did not have the owner's permission or any authorization to use the vessel.  After a short time, during which the vessel was operated without any running lights, the operator struck Vessel 2, which was moored nearby.  Both the operator and the passenger of Vessel 1 were ejected from the PWC.  Witnesses state that after the collision, they heard the injured female crying, but the operator and the injured party both reboarded the vessel and drove back to their original launching point.  The injured party refused treatment by EMS, but later that day went to the hospital, where it was determined that she suffered only bruising to her leg during the accident.
