RedactedNarrative: On 12/15/2015 at approximately 1205 hours I was notified by SC DNR Officer of a boating incident that occurred on the Georgia side of Clarks Hill Lake.  Officer advised the incident took place in Fishing Creek, Lincoln County.  Officer further advised that the incident was a boat on boat collision.  Officer stated that all occupants were out of the water and were going to Calhoun Falls SC.  Myself and Captain traveled to Calhoun Falls and met with the subjects identified on this report.  Subject had complained of hip and back pain and was transported by EMS to Anderson Hospital and was not on scene at our arrival.  Photographs and statements were taken at the 7-Eleven in Calhoun Falls.  Capt. went to Anderson Hospital and met with victim (unable to provide written statement).  Victim was being treated for pain and was in observation by medical personnel.
   
  Witness statements and physical evidence would indicate that the vessel being operated  struck the vessel belonging to Operator2.  Operator2 and his passenger saw  Operator1's vessel approaching and signaled in attempt to gain Operator1's attention.  Operator2 subsequently jumped from his vessel and occupant was thrown from the vessel after impact.  Evidence would suggest that Victim was riding in the fishing seat located on the bow of the vessel and was thrown to the rear of Operator1's vessel striking the floor and gunwale area on the port side.  
   
  Operator1 assisted in retrieving subjects from the water and was able to provide dry clothing to aid in the prevention of hypothermia.
   
  Officer investigation would suggest that contributing factors would be: Operator1's vision was obstructed due to Victim's seat location possibly drawing attention to Victim instead of proper look out.   
  Both vessels appeared to have significant damage that would presumably be over $2500.00.
  Vessel 1, belonging to Operator1, had fiberglass damage to the port underside beginning near the bow.  The vessel was sitting on a trailer at the time of my inspection and I was unable to determine how far underneath the damage continued.  
   
   Vessel 2 had aluminum damage to the starboard side that started near the center of the vessel continuing across the console and ending near the bow.
