RedactedNarrative: On 7/02/22, at approximately 09:51pm a boating incident occurred on high rock lake in abbotts creek.  The incident occurred north of holloways church road bridge near high rock marina and campground and involved two vessels.  
  
  Vessel 2 is an unknown vessel.  Vessel 2 collided with vessel 1 in the stern, port side of vessel 1, and vessel 2 fled the scene of the incident.
  
  Vessel 1 was operating and had four passengers on his vessel.  Operator1 and his passengers had just finished watching a fireworks show.  Shortly after, vessel 1 began operating north in abbotts creek heading towards a private boat access area where he had launched his boat.  According to Operator1 and witnesses, vessel 2 collided with vessel 1 on the stern, port side.  
  
  Witnesses also stated that they saw the underside of vessel 2's hull during the collision which caused damage to the vinyl upholstery, scratched to the stern, port side and slightly bent the port wakeboard rack on the wakeboard tower.  According to witnesses, vessel 2 stopped briefly, then sped off after the collision.  Once Operator1 and the passengers on vessel 1 made sure no one was hurt from the collision, they continued to pursue vessel 2, which continued traveling north on abbotts creek, eventually turning off their navigation lights in order to evade vessel 1.  Operator1 then proceeded to navigate vessel 1 back to the boat access to assess the damage and to take vessel 1 out of the water.  
  
  I received information revolving around this incident on 7/3/22 after speaking with my sgt.  He had been informed that information revolving around a hit and run boating incident was being posted online.  We then made contact with the individual that posted the information.  I spoke with Operator1 and two of the passengers that were onboard vessel 1 and got witness statements.  Vessel 1 had all the safety equipment on board upon inspection, after the incident occurred, and the navigation lights were functioning properly.  It is not clear whether or not drugs or alcohol were involved in this incident and no charges have been made.
