RedactedNarrative: 	On the afternoon of May 14th, 2016, Ranger and I were dispatched to a boat accident on the Flint River in Dougherty County (17:10 PM). GSP dispatch stated that two boats were involved and there were no injuries or anyone in the water. Ranger got the complainant’s information from GSP and called Operator2, who stated that his vessel was struck by another vessel and had sank. Operator2 stated he had tied his boat off to a tree and would be awaiting our arrival. 
  
  Ranger confirmed that no one was injured and Operator2 stated that there were no injuries. I notified GSP Dispatch that we would be in route from the upper end of the Kinchafoonee Creek.
  
  Ranger and myself arrived on scene at 17:57 PM. We assessed the damage to the vessels and occupants for injuries and identified all the parties and witnesses involved. I noticed that one of the children involved was acting lethargic, so EMS was called to the scene. While waiting for EMS to arrive, we had all occupants write voluntary statements about what they remembered about the incident. 
  
  Everyone’s account of the incident was the same, that Vessel 1 and Vessel 2 were traveling in opposite directions as they approached the blind curve. As the two vessels met, Vessel 2 turned right to avoid Vessel 1 as Vessel 1 turned left, striking Vessel 2. Vessel 1 struck Vessel 2, with the bow, where the windshield attached to the fiberglass hull. The impact caused Vessel 2 to sink, due to the hull cracking from the bow to the stern. The impact also ejected the bow-riding passenger from Vessel 1 into the river. 
  
  While the occupants finished writing their statements, I returned to Cromartie Beach Landing, picked up EMS personnel and transported them to the scene to check out the patients. EMS personnel cleared all occupants of any injures. Vessel 1 was driven back to Cleve Cox Boat Landing with all occupants on board; the occupants of vessel 2 were transported back to the landing by DNR patrol vessel. 
  
  My investigation determined that the operator of Vessel 1, caused the collision by failing to obey the rules of the road, striking and sinking Vessel 2. 
  
  Later that evening (May 14th) (Vessel 2 Passenger at Impact Seat) began experiencing injury symptoms that required an examination at the hospital; he was diagnosed with a minor concussion.
