  On 08/12/2016, at about 01:00 a.m., these two vessels were operating on the Northern end of Lake Sammamish, about 500 yards off shore, South of Idlewood Park near Redmond, WA in King County.
   
  According to Law Enforcement, at the time of incident, V2 was shut down and adrift in the middle of Lake Sammamish at the above location (watching Perseid Meteor Shower).  V1 was about ¼ mile south of V2.  Operator1 (V1) reported that he started his motor and got underway northbound directly towards V2 at a minimum planing speed of about 25-30 mph.  He stated that he observed no navigation lights on V2 however he (V1) was using narrow beam flashlights to illuminate his immediate path.  
   
  Operator2 (V2) stated that when he heard V1 start and begin to approach his vessel, he turned his navigation lights on but his bow lights were not working.  Operator2 failed to start his boat or attempt to move it.  Operator1 (V1) did not observe V2 until it was too close to avoid the collision.  
   
  V1 struck V2 port side at approximately a perpendicular angle overriding and ejecting at one occupant of V2 into the water.  V1's momentum carried it completely over the top of V2 and both came to rest adjacent to each other.
   
  Operator1 (V1) was cited for Reckless Boating.
