RedactedNarrative: On march 8, 2020 at approximately 1:15pm, a boating incident occurred in beaufort county near bath, nc. The incident took place near bath creek a quarter mile north from the hwy 92 bridge. I received the call around 1:45pm and arrived on scene at approximately 2:30pm. When i arrived on the scene of the incident, the victim was already being transported by ems to vidant beaufort hospital.
  
   on the afternoon of the incident the weather conditions on scene were clear and sunny, light wind, and calm waves. The victim had just launched his boat from the access area. He was traveling north approximately a quarter mile from the hwy 92 bridge in bath creek until he stopped to put his trolling motor down to start fishing. 
  
  Shortly after operator1 and his passenger were recreationally cruising, heading back south towards the quarter deck. Operator1 and v1 occupant had seen operator2 earlier trolling his boat ahead of them. Shortly after, operator1 then collided into operator2s vessel. 
  
  His vessel first made contact with the bow, driving over the starboard side of the other boat.  operator2 was sitting behind the console of the boat at the time of the incident. When the other vessel drove over his boat it made impact with the console hitting operator2 in the head. The vessel knocked operator2 unconscious to the floor of the boat. 
  
  After the impact operator1  tied off to the side of operator2''s boat to assess injuries and damage.  Shortly after ems responded to the scene. Operator2 complained of head and neck injuries from the impact of the boat hitting him. He was taken to the hospital to have his injuries assessed. Operator2 suffered a mild concussion as a result of the incident. Operator1 is 45 years old with has over 100 hours of boating experience and has not taken any boating safety courses. 
  
  I believe this incident may have been prevented with better operator attention and the completion of a boating safety course.
