RedactedNarrative: According to the surviving passengers of vessel 1 and based on my investigation, at approximately 2:00am on 4/30/15 operator collided vessel 1 into a dock after leaving from his dock and making his way out into the mountain creek area near the railroad trestle. Passenger 1 stated that everyone on board had been drinking back at the residence and had decided to go for a boat ride around 1:45am. They had made it out to the trestle and circled back to the cove they had just left and collided with the dock ejecting the operator from the vessel and lodging his head between the walk platform of the dock and the lower platform of the dock. Passenger 1 stated he looked everywhere in the boat for the operator after the collision and discovered him on the dock to the rear of the boat. He attempted to perform compressions and emergency breathing but stated his injuries were too severe and he could only feel a slight pulse which subsided soon afterwards and before the emergency personnel arrived. The neighbor next door stated she heard the commotion and started chest compressions on the operator with no response and no pulse. The collision began on the northwestern corner of the dock and snapped 4 of the 6 x 6 support columns and a 4 x 4 hand railing raking over the operator's position and doing the most damage to the starboard side of the vessel breaking out the windshield and ended with the vessel wedging between the last 6 x 6 column and the main support beam anchoring the dock into the sediment. One of the 6 x 6 columns in the middle of the dock must have dragged the operator out over the stern of the vessel and the passengers who were laying down in the stern of the vessel suffered few minor injuries not enough to merit medical attention. Passenger 1 stated he pulled out the kill switch after he recovered. Passengers 1 and 2 were intoxicated to the point their statements were difficult to understand and piece together. Both passengers were also intoxicated to the point they could not successfully complete an mb 4.1 form. The operator was declared dead at the scene and his blood toxicology results are pending with piedmont pathology. 
  
  In my opinion, the alcohol was a major contributing factor to the accident as well as operation at excessive speed for the narrow cove and restricted visibility at that time of night. No charges will be filed in this incident.
