RedactedNarrative: On July 30th, 2022, at approximately 2:45 a.m., Vessel 2, a 1997 Stratos fishing boat, was traveling east on Kowaliga Bay approaching the vicinity of Anchor Bay Marina, near Tallassee Slough. 
  
  Vessel 1, a 2017 Sea Doo GTI SE personal watercraft, was traveling west on Kowaliga Bay in the vicinity of Anchor Bay Marina and Tallassee Slough. Vessel 1 was not equipped with navigation lights and was being operated without any navigation lights. Subsequently it could not be seen by other vessel traffic on the lake. 
  
  The operator of Vessel 1, 25, was operating the vessel under the influence of alcoholic beverages and apparently did not see Vessel 2 as it approached. The operator of Vessel 2 could not see Vessel 1 and stated that he was not aware it was on the water until the collision occurred. 
  
  Vessel 1 struck Vessel 2 at a shallow, almost head-on angle just to the right of center of Vessel 2. The collision ejected both the operator and passenger on board Vessel 1 as well as the passenger of Vessel 2. The operator of Vessel 2 brought the operator and passenger of Vessel 1 on board his vessel, as well as his own passenger, and transported them to the beach area at Kowaliga Restaurant, where medical help was waiting. Operator1 suffered substantial injuries during the collision. Troopers were not able to question him or take a statement from him due to his condition and subsequent hospitalization. Both vessels were impounded by ALEA Marine Patrol Troopers for further investigation and towed from the scene.
