RedactedNarrative: This narrative outlining the sequence of events and above diagram is based solely on multiple officer observations at the scene and accident reconstruction methods. 
  
       Vessel #1 was traveling southbound on Lake Martin heading towards a bridge called "The Bridge to Nowhere". Vessel #2 was traveling northbound on Lake Martin and is believed to have just gone under and came out from "The Bridge to Nowhere". Vessel #1 and vessel #2 then collided almost head-on in the center of the channel.  As vessel #1''s bow impacted vessel #2''s bow, it caused vessel #2 to become depressed into the water. This depression allowed vessel #1 to start riding on top of vessel #2. Vessel #1''s bow impacted Vessel #2''s front starboard passenger area and its stern exited by the drivers station on the starboard side. After both vessels became completely disengaged, it is believed that vessel # 2 became disabled and stopped in the water. Vessel #1''s driver then drove over to the Ridge Marina and called for help.
       
       The driver of vessel # 2 was killed during the collision and the driver of vessel #1 suffered a severe head injury. The driver of vessel #1 was transported by ambulance to Baptist Medical Center South. The driver of vessel #2 was pronounced dead at the scene and his body was taken into custody by the Elmore County Coroner. Both drivers were the sole occupants of their vessels.
       The Alabama Law Enforcement Agency''s Marine Patrol Division is working with the Elmore County District Attorney on the investigation of this collison. A traffic homicide investigation packet will be completed in addition to this report.
