RedactedNarrative: On 6/25/22 at approximately 4:30pm, a boating incident occurred on lake norman approximately .5 miles west of staghorn court.  
  
  Subject1 operated the vessel from his father's house to the sandbar located in mecklenburg county with approximately 8 persons on board.  While at the sandbar, the occupants were on and off the anchored boat swimming and participating in other activities.  At the time of the incident, there were approximately 4-5 people on board this vessel - vessel 1.
  
  Operator2 and her family were planning to go to the sandbar and dock.  As operator2 was navigating through the vessels in the area, she came up close to the anchored vessel operating less than 10 mph.  To avoid the collision, she attempted to stop the pwc, but instead pressed the throttle and accelerated towards v1.  The front right side of the pwc made contact with the left side of v1.  The pwc then continued forward and scratched his vessel up to the bow where there was an anchor rope.  The anchor rope stopped the pwc.  Operator2 continued to press the throttle and pushed both vessels approximately 10 feet.  Subject1 then gathered contact information before they left the sand bar.  Subject1 notified his father of the incident when he took the vessel back to the residence.  Father contacted cornelius pd and was informed to contact the nc wildlife resources commission.
  
  V1's vessel had damage on the left side of the boat from the center to the bow.  There were scratches and a dent approximately halfway to the bow.  The estimated damage for this vessel is approximately $5000.00.  The pwc operated by operator2 had previous damage and no damages could be directly connected to this boating incident that occurred on 6/25/22.
  
  Due to operator inexperience and congested waters, operator2 mistakenly pressed the throttle on the pwc causing it to collide with v1's anchored vessel and cause damage.  No one was injured as a result of this incident.  No one was charged as a result of this incident.
