RedactedNarrative: On or about 8:40 pm aug. 26, 2020 two vessels were involved in a boating incident in dutchman creek, brunswick county resulting in one fatality.
  
  Operator2 was traveling out of dutchman''s creek heading to the intracoastal waterway and operator1 was heading into dutchman''s creek. Operator1 was on the right side of the creek and operator2 was in the middle of the creek. 
  
  While this incident is still under investigation it is believed at some point operator2 made a turn to the port (possibly to avoid a perceived collision) and into the line of travel of operator1; operator1 was unable to avoid the collision and struck vessel on the starboard side and continued over the top of vessel. Operator2 sustained very bad injuries to his upper torso causing his death.  He was struck by the vessel and vessel's propeller. 
  
  Operator1 admitted to drinking 3 beers, he volunteered a sample of his blood for analysis. 
  
  The incident is still under investigation.
