On april 27, 2013, Operator1 was operating an aluma craft vessel on the white oak river with her friend occupant.  Operator1 reported that while approaching a sharp bend in the river, she met another boat head on.  The other boat, a nitro bass boat, was operated by Operator2.  Operator1 reported that upon meeting the boat in the bend, she panicked and turned the boat to the left, while Operator2 turned his boat to the right.  This caused Operator2's boat to collide into the back right side of the aluma craft.  Both V1 occupant and Operator1 fell overboard into the river and V1 occupant sustained lacerations and contusions to his upper body.  Operator2 reported that he assisted them onto his boat and towed their vessel back to the boat ramp.  Operator2 contacted ncwrc to report the accident.  I was notified and immediately travelled to the camp lejeune naval hospital where i met all parties of the accident and began my investigation.  This boating accident resulted in both property damage and personal injury.  Operator1 was charged in this investigation.

Please note that the collision of both vessels caused the injured parties to fall overboard thereby the cause of their injuries.
