  Investigation Revealed:
            Vessel #1 and Vessel #2 were traveling southbound, on the western side of Greenwood Lake, in the Hewitt section of West Milford at approximately 8:15 pm.  The water was calm and it was a dark clear night, with a light north wind.  Operator #1 was operating vessel #1 at low rate of speed approximately 250' off of the shoreline between Greenwood Lake Marina and Sportsman's Marina.  Operator #2 was operating vessel #2 at a recklessly excessive rate of speed when it struck vessel #1.  
            The initial point of contact was the bow of vessel #2 striking the swim platform on the aft of vessel #1, causing a break in the fiberglass.  Vessel #2 then struck the transom, causing a crack in the fiberglass and dislodging the engine cover.  Vessel #2 then went airborne and struck Operator #1, who was operating vessel #1, and Occupant #2, who was seated in the front port side passenger seat.  Operator #1 sustained a skull and clavicle fracture.  Occupant #2 sustained a head injury.  Vessel #2 continued forward striking the windshield of vessel #1.  Vessel #2 then struck Occupant #3, who was seated in the starboard side bow and Occupant #4, who was seated in the port side bow.  Occupant #3 sustained a head injury. Occupant #4 sustained a contusion to her head.  Vessel #2 then struck the bow of vessel #1 dislodging the navigation light and scratching the gel coat.
            Operator #2 then fled the scene of the accident in Vessel #2.
