RedactedNarrative: AT APPROXIMATELY 1620 HRS I WAS NOTIFIED BY ASHLAND POST OF A BOAT ACCIDENT THAT TOOK PLACE IN THE AREA OF TWIN BAYS ON GRAYSON LAKE. THIS AREA OF GRAYSON LAKE IS NARROW (APPROXIMATELY 50 YDS) WITH CLIFFLINE ON EITHER SIDE.
  	 INITIAL INVESTIGATION SHOWS THAT OPERATOR 2 WAS OPERATING HIS VESSEL (ALSO OCCUPIED BY A PASSENGER) UP THE LAKE TOWARDS THE MARINA WHEN THE BOAT OPERATED BY OPERATOR 1 (OCCUPIED BY TWO PASSENGERS) TRAVELLING DOWN THE LAKE VEERED IN FRONT OF THE BOAT OPERATED BY OPERATOR 2. DURING THE INTERVIEW LATER THAT SAME NIGHT OPERATOR 1 ADVISED THAT HE SAW THE ONCOMING VESSEL AND DID NOT BELIEVE THERE WAS ENOUGH ROOM TO PASS BETWEEN THE BOAT AND THE BANK. HE STATED THAT HE TURNED HIS BOAT TO THE CENTER OF THE LAKE IN ORDER TO PASS ON THE OTHER SIDE. SUBJECT STATED THAT HE REALIZED HE WAS NOT GOING TO MAKE IT AND ATTEMPTED TO PERFORM A "U-TURN". SUBJECT STATED HE NEVER LET OFF HIS THROTTLE IN AN ATTEMPT TO GET PAST THE ONCOMING BOAT.
  	 OPERATOR 2 ADVISED THEY WERE TRAVELLING TO THE RIGHT OF THE CHANNEL COMING UP THE LAKE. HE STATED THAT HE SAW THE OPERATOR 1 BOAT CUTTING ACROSS THEIR PATH AND DID NOT HAVE ROOM TO VEER RIGHT SO HE LET OFF THE THROTTLE. OPERATOR 2 ADVISED HE WAS TRAVELLING AT APPROXIMATELY 40MPH IN HIS BASS BOAT. 
  	UPON THE COLLISION OCCURRING OPERATOR 2 AND WHITE WERE EJECTED FROM THEIR BOAT. THE OPERATOR 1 BOAT WAS LEFT INOPERABLE, HOWEVER; ALL OCCUPANTS STAYED IN THE VESSEL. A SECOND VESSEL PICKED UP THE OCCUPANTS OF THE OPERATOR 1 BOAT AND TRANSPORTED THEM TO THE MARINA. CARTER CO EMS TRANSPORTED THE JUVENILLE TO CABELL HUNTINGTON ER IN WEST VIRGINIA DUE TO POSSIBLE STERNUM INJURIES, A LACERATION TO HIS ABDOMEN, AND SHORT TERM MEMORY LOSS. BOTH OF THEM REFUSED TREATMENT. OPERATOR 2 WERE ASSISTED INTO THEIR VESSEL AND MET ELLIOTT CO EMS AT THE BRUIN BOAT RAMP; BOTH OCCUPANTS OF THAT VESSEL REFUSED MEDICAL TREATMENT AT THE BOAT RAMP. I INTERVIEWED BOTH INDIVIDUALS AT THE RAMP; BOTH INDIVIDUALS GAVE A WRITTEN VOLUNTARY STATEMENT.
  	THE JUVENILLE WAS RELEASED FROM CABELL HUNTINGTON HOSPITAL AT APPROXIMATELY 2030HRS WITH A FRATURED RIB, FRACTURED STERNUM AND DEEP LACERATIONS IN HIS TONGUE AND LIP. I MET THE FAMILY AT THEIR HOME AT APPROXIMATELY 2130HRS IN ORDER TO INTERVIEW THE OCCUPANTS OF THAT VESSESL. OPERATOR 1 AND HIS WIFE BOTH GAVE VOLUNTARY WRITTEN STATEMENTS.
