RedactedNarrative: On may 27, 2016 at 2:30 p.m. I was dispatched by raleigh to a boating accident at sunset beach access area. The call stated that a personal watercraft with two occupants on board had struck a fishing pier at the sunset beach access area.  Raleigh communications first gave information that rescue personnel was administering cpr, then they called back and said “they had called it”.  (denoting fatality).  
   
  Proceeding from whiteville to sunset beach wildlife resources commission access area, I arrived at approximately 3:15 pm.  Just after i arrived, sgt. arrived at the access area to assist. Sunset beach fire and rescue, and police personnel had the area closed off, and had witnesses on hand.  Statements were written by the witnesses. 
   
  There was damage to the pier, damage to the personal watercraft which was indicated in all of the witnesses statements.  Our investigation determined that (father), and (son) were both on a yamaha waverunner personal watercraft, (wearing pfds).  They had approached the boat ramp pier from the east, headed west.  
   
  While at the boat ramp pier the pwc suddenly accelerated, making a right turn towards the mainland bank, then a turn left, back towards the icw.  At that point, the pwc struck the fishing pier at the access area ejecting both occupants. The occupants of the pwc received head trauma and severe lacerations to the head and body.
