RedactedNarrative: On 09/17/2016 around 1730 hours, Vessel One was underway navigating the channel of Canyon Lake in the area of Eagle's Nest. Vessel two was drifting in the channel, the occupants of which were fishing. The operator of vessel one navigated around a sharp corner of the canyon, and was along the right side of the channel. Vessel two, however, was directly in front of vessel one. The operator of vessel one was able to steer to the left at the last moment prior to impact. Vessel one collided with vessel two in the channel, striking the right rear of vessel one into the rear motor area of vessel two. The rear passenger of vessel two was thrown from the deck of the boat into the water. He sustained abrasion injuries to his lower right leg, but was otherwise unharmed. 
  
  Vessel two was taking on water as a result of this collision, but the operator was able to make it back to the Palo Verde Boat Ramp. The operator of vessel one followed. When they were close enough to get cell phone reception, the operator of vessel two called the Sheriff''s Office to report this incident. 
  
  During the investigation, it was discovered that the operator of vessel one was operating under the influence of alcohol. He was subsequently arrested for OUI, and later cited and released (see MCSO IR#xx-xxxxxx for further). The passenger of vessel two refused further medical treatment at the scene of the investigation. 
  
  No further information at this time.
