RedactedNarrative: On Saturday July 25, 2020 at approximately 08:50 OPERATOR 1 was traveling north west out of Singing Hills Bay on Spirit Lake with his two grandkids. A grandkid was driving the vessel (ID9490AK) with OPERATOR 1 over watching. 
  
  OPERATOR 1 was facing to the rear of the VESSEL 1 not paying attention to where Grandkid was headed. As they began heading out into the lake they approached the victims vessel (WN0382NY). 
  
  SUBJECT1 was on the swim platform getting ready to begin skiing PASSENGER 1 tending gear for SUBJECT1. The vessel was sitting stationary and shut off with OPERATOR2 at the helm ready to drive when SUBJECT1 entered the water. 
  
  They noticed the VESSEL 1 vessel heading their direction and began to shout and wave the ski flag. The victims then realized that the VESSEL 1 vessel was not changing course. SUBJECT1 jumped into the water off the swim platform to the starboard side. PASSENGER 1 was right behind him just forward of the transom. OPERATOR2 tried to exit the vessel in the same manner but was unable to and ended up in the vessel tucked behind the drivers seat on the floor. 
  
  The VESSEL 1 struck the swim platform on the starboard side and traveled up over the transom and exited the port side gunwale just ahead of the transom. It appears that the VESSEL 1 laid to the starboard side as it went over the VESSEL 2 leaving damage consistent with the chines on the VESSEL 1 and the tracking fins cutting in at an angle consistent with the vessel laying over in that manner. The VESSEL 1 was towed back to his dock on the lake. The VESSEL 2 vessel was operational and followed the back.  Deputies arrived on scene at 11:09 going as Marine 4. We took the report, photographed damage and suggested that the VESSEL 1 be taken out of the water due to the fact that it could be taking on water. 
  
  We then escorted the VESSEL 2 back across the lake to where they were staying. We then met back up with VESSEL 1 OPERATOR 1 at the Birch Creek Launch to get photographs of the damage on the underside of the VESSEL 1. I then cited OPERATOR 1 for gross negligent operation due his inattention while his grandson was driving the vessel in a manner as to endanger or be likely to endanger any person or property.
