RedactedNarrative: On the day of May 09, 2015 at approximately 02:35 pm there was a multi vessel boat collision on the Chowan River near the Virginia and North Carolina border that resulted in 2 minor injuries and 2 fatalities. Vessel number 1  was traveling north bound on the Chowan River heading back in to Virginia. Vessel number 2  was traveling South bound on the Chowan River heading into North Carolina from the Highway 258 boat access area from the Nottoway River in Virginia. As vessel number 1 was approaching the Virginia line he was traveling on the left side of the river heading North as the river made a bend to the left. Vessel number 2 was on the right side of the river heading South. Vessel number 1 operator stated as they approached a bend in the river he saw vessel number 2 heading south bound also on the same side of the river. As the vessels approached each other at a fast rate of speed, vessel number 1 began to make a slight left turn to avoid collision. Vessel number 2 made a right turn just prior to collision with vessel number 1. Vessel number 1 struck its starboard side of the bow against the port side bow of vessel number 2. As vessel number 2 was struck, the bow of the boat dipped downwards towards the water and the bow of vessel number 1 went up and over vessel number 2. Due to the high rate of speed of vessel number 1 it ramped up and over vessel number 2 exiting the stern of the starboard side. The propeller on vessel number 1 struck the driver side console on the starboard side where the driver was seated. 
   
  The passengers of vessel number 2 were seated side by side towards the rear of the vessel. The male was driving the vessel and was seated on the starboard side and the female passenger was seated on the port side. Vessel number 1 struck both passengers in vessel number 2, leaving the driver slumped over the side of the boat while remaining seated with his head over the side in the water. The female passenger was laying behind the driver seat facing upward arms open feet together and head laying on the starboard side of the boat. Vessel number 1 passengers were not ejected or harmed in the collision. The passengers of vessel number 1 sustained slight bruising but were mentally and physically shaken. There were alcoholic beverages present in vessel number 1, unable to determine if this contributed to the cause of this accident at this time.
