RedactedNarrative: On 10, July 2016, at approximately 0010 hours, I OFC of the NC Wildlife Resources Commission, received information from the Rockingham County Sheriff's Office that a vessel collision occurred on  Belews Lake. The Sheriff's  deputy advised that all parties involved were currently at Humphrey's Ridge Marina. 
  
  Upon my arrival at 0025 hours, I observed a white and green ski boat already on the trailer, as well as a twenty two foot Maurell pontoon tied to the dock. Vessel one (the pontoon) was determined to be the stand on vessel.  At the time of the incident, vessel one contained four total occupants, 1 adult female (operator), one adult male, one juvenile female and one juvenile male. This vessel was struck in the starboard portion near the stern.  Damages to this vessel included but were not limited to the railing, skirting, trim, floor and a small storage compartment located to the rear of the steering column.  Upon a thorough safety examination I was able to conclude that all safety equipment was fully functional and accessible.  Both adult occupants of this vessel stated that the navigation lights had been on prior to, during and after being struck by vessel two. 
  
  Vessel two was a nineteen foot stingray, green and white in color with an inboard/outboard motor.  It was determined that there were five total occupants on this vessel at the time of the incident.  On board were two adult females and three adult males.   It was apparent that Operator2 was not under the influence of any impairing substance.   All occupants of vessel two claimed that the stand on vessel (vessel one) was not displaying an all around white light at the time of the incident.  Vessel two suffered significant damage to the bow, rub rail and fiberglass hull. The point of impact began near the bow and traveled approximately four feet to the rear and downward just below the water line on the port side. At the conclusion of the safety examination on vessel two the operator received a written warning for having a fire extinguisher that was not properly charged. 
  
  I was able to conclude that at approximately 2330, vessel one was traveling north on Belews Lake at speeds between five and ten miles per hour.  It was at this time that they were approached from the southeast by vessel two. As vessel two approached at speeds between thirty and thirty five miles per hour, the operator quickly turned to the right at or just before the time of impact. This caused the port side bow to strike the rear starboard corner of vessel one. No serious injuries occurred as a result of this incident. However, both vessels received significant damage. Based on conflicting testimonies of all involved I am unable to determine whether navigation lights were displayed by the stand on vessel.
