RedactedNarrative: On july 24, 2014 at approximately 2:00pm, a boating accident occurred in the harbor cove area on lake norman in mooresville.  Operator1 was preparing to dock in the harbor cove area.  Her son, operator2, was heading northeast traveling between an island and a point on the shoreline.  Both vessels were owned by operator1’s boyfriend.  Vessel 1 was preparing to dock facing northeast when vessel 2 struck vessel 1 on the starboard side. 
   
  Vessel 1 was traveling northeast preparing to dock the pwc.  There were 3 people on vessel 1.  Vessel 2 was approaching at a high rate of speed coming from around a point cutting between the mainland and an island.  Vessel 1 did not have time to get out of the way of vessel 2.  Vessel 2 impacted vessel 1 at a sharp angle near the front on the starboard side which caused the stern of vessel 2 to ship around and impact vessel 1 on the back 1/3 starboard side.  When the stern of vessel 2 made contact with vessel 1, it broke the leg of one of the passengers on vessel 1.  All individuals were ejected off their vessels into the water.  The operator of vessel 2 went to shore and ran to get help.  911 was contacted and emergency personnel responded to the scene.
  
  Operator1’s daughter, who was the injured occupant onboard v1, was transported to lake norman hospital and was treated for her injuries.  Due to the blunt force impact, she was checked for other bodily trauma as well.  She was released later that evening after being treated for a broken leg and minor cuts and bruises.  The third passenger on vessel 1 was not injured.  Vessel 2's operator did not get injured in the collision.
   
  The analysis of the damage on both pwcs indicated that vessel 2 struck vessel 1 on the starboard side about 1/3 of the way back from the bow at a very sharp angle causing the stern of vessel 2 to whip around and slam into the starboard side of vessel 1.  The amount of fiberglass damage and hull damage caused vessel 1 to be totaled.  There was also fiberglass damage to the hull of vessel 2.  Both operators and passengers were wearing their pfds and kill switch lanyard.  Alcohol was not a contributing factor.
