RedactedNarrative: Prelude/summary
   
  Officer and i were on boat patrol on the ohio river just after dark.  We responded to a boat accident near the dogtown boat ramp.  Operator2 had dropped some friends off at the ramp and was driving away.  He was powering up his boat to come onto plane and travel down stream. He did not see another boat waiting to load up at the ramp.  Operator2 stated that he could not see due to a reflection coming from the bow lights on his boat.  Operator2 continued to operate his boat without being able to see and caused a collision with the other boat at rest.  Operator2's boat received scratches on the bow and hull area.  Except for the engine and drive, the rest of boat1 appeared to be totaled.
