RedactedNarrative: investigation revealed Boat ll2 was traveling S/B near or at the first channel marker to Pistakee Lake. Boat #1 was also traveling S/B. Boat lll was towing an inflatable device (tube) which contained three juvenile subjects. 
  
  Just prior to impact the driver of boat ll2 noted that boat #1 was going to collide with the rear of his boat. Driver #2 attempted to avoid the collision by accelerating out of the path of boat #2. Driver #1 then noted that he was on a collision course with boat #2 and swerved to the left. Both actions minimized the damage. There by the front right corner of boat #1 struck the left rear corner of boat ll2 in a glancing contact.
  
  In observation of the related damages R/Ds noted that the damage to boat #2 was high on the corner of the left rear suggesting that acceleration did occur which would have lowered the rear of boat ll2. Further, the damage on boat #1 was on the right front corner and near the water line suggesting a swerving motion to the left which would have caused the right corner to rise out of the water.
  
  Further, the investigation and statements made by both drivers indicates that Driver #1 was in violation of ILCS 625 Chapter Sec 45/5-1 Careless Operation, operating in a careless or heedless manner as to endanger any person or property. However, no enforcement action was taken by R/D. The Victim, Driver #2 declined prosecution based on the minimal damage and the fact that both boats were insured by State Farm Ins.
  
  Based on the above information and investigation this reported boating accident should be CLEARED and CLOSED I No prosecution.
