On Friday, July 4, 2009 P1 approached TWRA Officers at Laurel Marina on South Holston Lake.  She stated that at approximately 17:05 that day she had been involved in a boat accident.  She stated that she along with her friend P2 were sitting on the bow of her boat watching three of their friends swim in the lake in front of the boat.  The vessel was drifting along the western side of the main channel between Lakeview Marina and Laurel Marina.  She said that there was no one operating the vessel at that time, and that they were just sitting and swimming.  Then without warning an unknown, unidentified PWC struck the starboard side of their boat's stern.  P1 stated that no one was injured but the PWC immediately drove away.  No one sitting or swimming near the boat was able to give more of a description of the PWC or its occupants than that it was two people on a dark colored PWC.  P1's vessel was damaged but not rendered inoperable and she drove the vessel back to Laurel Marina and docked it in their slip.  She then contacted TWRA.
