RedactedNarrative: ON 09/19/21, AT APPROXIMATELY 1010 HOURS, V1 OPERATOR LAUNCHED HIS VESSEL FROM THE NEWPORT RIVER ACCESS AREA NEAR MOREHEAD CITY. HE TRAVELED SOUTH ON THE NEWPORT RIVER. ANOTHER LARGER VESSEL WAS ALSO TRAVELING SOUTH ON THE NEWPORT RIVER. BOTH VESSELS WERE TRAVELING TOWARD THE ACCESS PASS FOR VESSELS UNDERNEATH THE US HIGHWY 70 BRIDGE.  AS THEY BOTH APPROACHED THE OPENING, THE WAKE FROM THE LARGER VESSEL CAUSED V1 OPERATOR TO LOSE CONTROL OF HIS VESSEL AND STRIKE THE WOODEN BARRIER BENEATH THE BRIDGE. THIS CAUSED EXTENSIVE DAMAGE TO HIS VESSEL. V1 OPERATOR WAS ABLE TO GET HIS VESSEL BACK TO THE ACCESS AREA WITH THE ASSISTANCE OF SOME OTHER BOATERS. THE LARGER VESSEL DID NOT STOP AND IT IS UNKNOWN IF THEY EVEN SAW THE INCIDENT. V1 OPERATOR WAS UNABLE TO GIVE AN IDENTIFYING DESCRIPTION OF THE LARGER VESSEL OR THOSE THAT ASSISTED HIM. THERE IS NOTHING FURTHER TO REPORT AT THIS TIME.
