RedactedNarrative: On May 24, 2014 at approximately 15:00hrs, I received a call from Boating Officer. He stated the owner of Cedar Creek Marina called him to report a boating accident that occurred on this date at approximately 14:30hrs at the marina. Boating Officers and I arrived on the scene on this date at approximately 15:10hrs. We interviewed the owners of the two boats involved in the incident and witnesses that observed the incident. Vessel 1 was tied to the boat dock between the access ramp and gas pumps. No persons were aboard vessel 1 at the time of the incident. Operator2 was operating vessel 2 at the time of the incident. He was attempting to load vessel 2 onto a trailer at the access ramp. While attempting to load the boat onto the trailer, the throttle of vessel 2 was pulled backwards, causing the vessel to increase it’s speed in reverse. Operator2 stated the throttle stuck. There was no evidence the throttle of vessel 2 was malfunctioning. The operator’s seat of the vessel was not secured to the floor of the boat. The seat, when in use, was balanced on a pole by the person sitting in the seat. Operator2 stated when the boat suddenly accelerated, the seat he was sitting in fell backwards. That is when the throttle may have been pulled backwards, causing the boat to suddenly accelerate. When vessel 2 quickly accelerated, it struck vessel 1. The bow of vessel 2 struck the left rear of vessel 1. The result of the collision caused significant damage to the rear of vessel 1. There was a small amount of damage to vessel 2, light surface scratches to the bow.
