  Witness #1 stated to the effect: I heard a loud bang and observed that the stern of a 24-26' Cabin boat had struck the stern of a docked vessel which was located in an authorized boat slip. I recognized subject1 to be on the striking vessel because he kept his boat at this marina last year. I called him VIA Cell Phone and he refused to return to the Marina.
  
  Investigation Revealed: Operator #1 was operating Vessel #1 northbound within Gloucester City Marina located in Gloucester City, Camden County at approximately 9:00 AM. While attempting to exit the marina, Operator #1 failed to maintain directional control of Vessel #1 causing the stern of Vessel #1 to strike the stern of Vessel# 2 which was unoccupied and docked in an authorized boat slip at the time of the crash. The momentum of the crash then caused the starboard side of Vessel# 2 to strike the dock causing damage to same. The Gloucester City Marina Dockmaster witnessed the crash from approximately 50 feet away and awaited Vessel #1 's return. After striking Vessel #2, Vessel #1 exited the marina and departed the scene. Operator #1 failed to return to the marina and also failed to report the vessel crash within 10 days.
  
  Later that day at approximately 5:27 PM, the Operatonal Dispatch Unit received a call for a hit and run vessel accident. The call was then dispatched VIA 10 Comm and assigned to the undersigned. Upon arrival to the scene, I met with the owner of Vessel #2 which was not on scene at the time of the crash. An assessment was conducted for the damage to Vessel #2. Gel coat damage was observed to the stern and starboard side midship of the vessel. The owner of Vessel #2 is currently awaiting an estimate for all repairs to the vessel.
