RedactedNarrative: On 07-01-14, I (CPO) was contacted by Wauconda CSO reference a property damage boating accident on Bangs Lake. I was on my regular day off and asked him if the responding officer could obtain all of the boat and operator/occupant information so I could follow up on 07-03-14. He said Officer would be the responding officer. 
  
  On 07-03-14, at approximately 4:00 p.m., I met with CSO and Officer. They gave me their report (#2014-03577) along with the photos taken the day of the accident (attached). I left and attempted to contact the operators of both vessels. I left a voicemail for the operator of vessel 1 at approximately 5:15 p.m. and spoke with the operator of vessel 2 at approximately 8:00 p.m. He agreed to meet with me on Sunday 07-06-14 at noon. 
  
  On 07-06-14, at approximately 12:00 p.m., I met with the operator of vessel 2. His parents were present and another occupant showed up while we were talking. Both Operator2 and V2 occupant said they were anchored approximately 150 yards offshore from the public boat launch, just outside the no wake bouys. V2 occupant was in the boat occupant3. Operator2 was climbing the ladder on the port side of the stern, and subject2 was in the water behind the boat, waiting to climb the ladder. V2 occupant said he yelled out when he saw vessel one quickly approaching. Then Operator2 turned around and saw vessel one about to impact and jumped into the boat. Operator2 said he landed in the boat, with his left side striking one of the seats in the boat, causing minor bruising. He went to the doctor the next day, but no treatment. Subject2 was able to swim away from the boat without injury. Both V2 occupant and Occupant3 jumped out of the boat just prior to impact and avoided injury. V2 occupant said he could see the driver of vessel one towing two juveniles on a tube, and the driver was looking forward and back while operating the boat. Operator2 provided a written statement which is attached. I provided a copy of the BAR to Operator2 and instructed him to submit within the next couple of days. I photographed vessel 2 as it was in the driveway at Operator2''s residence. 
  
  At approximately 2:00 p.m., I met with the operator of vessel 1 at his residence.   Operator1 said he had three juveniles (all 14 years of age) in the boat with him for observers, and two 12 year olds in tow on a tube. Operator1 was traveling southwestbound just outside the no wake bouys, which is traditionally the "ski" lane on Bangs Lake. He was traveling counterclockwise around the lake, as required by village ordinance. Operator1 said he was steering to the right and left to make waves for the tubers behind him, and was alternately looking in his mirror and ahead of him. Operator1 said when he looked up, he saw the anchored boat and steered hard to the left in an attempt to avoid a crash. Operator1''s starboard side impacted the port side of the stern on vessel 2, causing extensive damage to vessel 1. Operator1 said he had to get the boat off the water, as the bilge pump was just keeping up with the water coming in the hull. He said there were no injuries on his boat. He agreed to give me a written statement which is attached. I gave him the BAR and instructed him to complete and submit within the next couple of days. Operator1 was issued WW#J384371 for failure to keep reasonable distance from persons/property as to not endanger the life/property of another (625 ILCS 45/5-14 C). Vessel 1 was already in the repair shop and not present.
