RedactedNarrative: On 08/21/2015 at approximately 11:30pm Operator1 and his 6 passengers were involved in a vessel collision.   No injuries beyond first aid were reported.  Officer arrived on scene at approximately 1:30pm.  The accident occurred on Percy Priest Lake at the Four Corners Marina boat slips.
  
  Information Based on Operator Statements:
  Operator1 stated that he was backing out of his boat slip and engaged the throttle in the forward position to get away from a nearby boat that was docked.  When he reached down to bring the throttle back, to slow the vessel down, his hand slipped of the throttle and subsequently struck a vessel in another slip.
  
  Information Based on Witness Statements:
  Witness1 was walking down the docks and heard a boat lock into full throttle.  He noticed the driver lost control of the vessel and crash into another boat and the dock.
  
  Information Based on Evidence at the Scene:
  Upon Officer arriving on scene he found 3 vessels that were involved in the accident.  All involved parties had left the scene except for Operator1, occupant, and a witness that was on the dock at the time of the accident.  It appeared Operator1 backed out of his slip on G Dock and put the boat (V1) in forward gear.  He then turned V1 to the right in an attempt to avoid hitting the Sun Tracker (V2) in the slip next to his.  The port side stern of V1 then struck the motor of V2.  V1 continued forward and struck the stern of a Stardeck Aurora (V3) in F Dock.   
  
  Heavy damage was found on the bow of V1, the gunwale of the vessel separated from the hull of the boat.  V2 appeared to sustain damage to the steering linkage of the motor.  V3 had damage to the lower unit of the engine as well as damage to the stern platform.  The hull of V3 was found to have paint transfer also from V1.
