RedactedNarrative: On may 23, 2020 at approximately 1710 hours a boat incident occurred on lake hickory at the mouth of falling creek near the hwy 127 bridge (35.7981, -81.3024). There were two vessels involved. Vessel 1  was operated by the owner of the vessel. 
  
  The operator of vessel 1 was travelling upstream at a high rate of speed when he unexpectedly hit a large wake. The first wake knocked operator1 into his console and off balance. The second wake ejected operator1 from the port side of the vessel. Operator1 was not wearing his kill switch and he stated later that his kill switch was not operable. 
  
  After operator1 was ejected the vessel continued travelling with no one operating it. Operator1 was the only person onboard vessel 1. Vessel 1 struck vessel 2 with a glancing blow on the rear starboard side making contact with vessel 2 for the entire length of the vessel before continuing upstream. No one on vessel 2 was physically injured. 
  
  Vessel 1 then ramped over the bank and travelled through the air for approximately thirty yards before crashing into the side of the home. The vessel pierced through the wall and came to rest inside a bedroom of the house. Nobody inside the home was physically injured. 
  
  A good samaritan rescued operator1 from the water, and he was uninjured in the crash. Operator1 estimated that there is at least $2500 in property damage done to vessel 1. Subject1 estimates that there is about $500 in damage to vessel 2. Subject3 estimates his property damage to be about $15,000. There were no fatalities or injuries in the crash. Operator1 was not wearing a pfd. Operator1 was administered standardized field sobriety tests due to alcohol usage. 
  
  In conclusion, operator1 was travelling too fast for conditions, he was not paying proper attention, not wearing the automated kill switch, which was inoperable, and was not wearing a pfd. All evidence will be presented to the catawba county district attorney to determine if charges will be filed.
