RedactedNarrative: On july 4, 2019 on or about 1530 hours, officer and i responded by boat to a reported boating incident on lake norman near west bay drive.  We arrived on scene to find all vessel operators and passengers okay.  Officer and i started investigating the cause of the incident by interviewing personal watercraft operators (pwc) and passengers.  Operators completed boating incident forms and passengers provided statements.
  
  From statements provided, the operators of vessel #1 and #2  were operating on lake norman/mountain creek.  Both operators had just passed underneath the mt. Pleasant rd. Bridge.  When clear of the "no wake" zone under the bridge, both operators started to accelerate.   
  
  Vessel #1 was behind vessel #2.  While cruising away from the bridge, vessel #2 operator made a sharp left turn in front of vessel #1.  Vessel #1 collided with vessel #2 in the port side of the bow.  The impact sent vessel #1 over the bow of vessel #2 causing all passengers to jump or fall off.  A good samaritian in a pontoon boat heard the incident and provided assistance to all involved.
