RedactedNarrative: INITIAL CALL:
  
  At approximately 1310 hours I was flagged down by a passenger on a houseboat near buoy 104.  The passenger informed me that a PWC was towing a vessel that had struck a rock and was now disabled approximately 1 mile behind them in the main channel.  I told them I would locate the vessel.
  
  REPONSE:
  
  I continued upstream in the main channel and located the disabled vessel just downstream from the mouth of Hansen creek being towed by a PWC.  I contacted the owner and inquired about any possible injuries from the accident.  He stated there were no injuries and that he had been driving when they struck a rock outcropping and the motor mount on the outboard motor had broken.  The outboard motor was hanging behind the transom of the vessel held by the cables.  I informed him that we would not be able to tow him back to Bullfrog but that he needed an accident report to be taken.  The PWC operator asked if he could continue towing them in to save time.  I told him to go ahead and that if the owner was not contacted at the ramp, to stop at the visitor center in Bullfrog and ask for a Ranger to do an accident report.
  
  At approximately 1500 hours while patrolling in the Bullfrog bay area I observed this vessel being towed in Bullfrog Bay by a different ski type vessel.  I responded to the Bullfrog launch ramp and cleared a spot on the courtesy docks closest to the ramp and then met the disabled boat at the wakeless buoys outside the ramp.  I took the vessel under tow from the other visitors and placed the vessel on the courtesy docks.
  
  INVESTIGATION:
  
  I asked Subject what had occurred and he stated he was driving the vessel at approximately 35 mph and was looking down for his glasses.  He looked up and saw that they were going to hit a rocky outcropping and turned the boat hard left to lessen the impact.  He stated the impact was all on the left side of the vessel and the motor also hit the rocks.  
  
  I collected a witness statement from Subject and the personal information from his passenger.  Photos were taken of the damage and are attached.  Subject's wife called me later that day and gave me the insurance information for the vessel.
  
  CONCLUSION:
  
  Based on my training and experience and reviewing the damage to SUBJECT's vessel I believe this accident occurred just as Subject explained it.  He was operating his vessel in Crystal Springs Canyon.  He began to look for his glasses and at that time stopped keeping a proper lookout for a safe course for his vessel.  When he looked up again he saw he was about to hit a rocky outcropping and steered the vessel to the left to avoid a head on impact.  His vessel struck the rocks on the starboard side causing the damage described in this report to the hull and the motor.
