RedactedNarrative: Vessel #1 was travelling downstream when vessel #2 turned to port and struck the victim and his PWC.    
  
  Operator of vessel #2 was knocked into the water.   Vessel #1 left the scene of accident immediately.  The officer noted that at the time of the accident there were many PWC's operating all over the river too many to count.  No one knew who took the victim to shore or who the other operator was.  
  
  After an extensive investigation which is still ongoing the Detective was given information for a suspect vessel and operator.  A crash reconstruction was done of the victim's vessel and the suspected vessel and it appears it is the vessel involved.   The operator of vessel #1 is still a suspect and not confirmed operator at this time.  
  
  Cause of accident is excessive speed, improper lookout and sharp turn.  2-16-18 If and when more information becomes available I will update this report.
