RedactedNarrative: On Sunday, June 26 I received a call in regards to an accident involving 2 vessels near Beaverdam creek on Kentucky Lake. I confirmed that those involved were off of the water, and were currently receiving treatment at Camden general hospital. 
  
  When I arrived at the hospital I found that Victim had been treated for a minor shoulder injury and was ready to be discharged.  
  
  Operator2 was the operator of vessel 2, but was uninjured in the accident. Based on statements given independently by both parties involved, I determined that the accident occurred at approximately 11:15 am CST on the west side of the Tennessee River channel adjacent to Trace Creek. 
  
  Vessel 1, operated by Victim, approached the river channel heading east and slowed to an idle attempting to locate Sand Island. Vessel 2 was also traveling east and was trying to get closer to vessel 1 in an attempt to stay together.  
  
  Operator2 stated that he realized he was approaching too fast and turned his machine off in an attempt to stop before impact, and that once he shut down he lost the ability to steer away from the impact. Operator2 stated that he was traveling less than 20 MPH at the time of the accident. 
  
  They had launched the vessels at Eva public boat launch and made their way back there after the accident. The damage sustained by both vessels was minor and did not affect the operation of either.
