RedactedNarrative: On July 10, 2015 near 21:00 hours CST, a boat collision occurred on Nolin River Lake near the Dog Creek Recreational Area.  The collision involved a 2006 Odyssey Pontoon driven by Operator2 and a 1988 Thundercraft Open Motor Boat operated by Operator1.
  
  Evidence and eyewitness accounts conclude that OPERATOR2's vessel struck OPERATOR1' vessel on the port side, going upon and over the vessel causing a total loss to OPERATOR1' vessel and minor damage to OPERATOR2's vessel.  
  
  OPERATOR1 states that while he was on the water and wanting to return to shore, his boat failed to start due to a lack of gas.  He then began paddling to shore to remedy the situation.  He stated he took a short break, then was about to begin paddling again, when his passenger screamed then was overtaken by OPERATOR2'S vessel.  OPERATOR1 claimed that both his navigational light and 360 degree light were on and working at the time of the accident.  V1 OCCUPANT states that OPERATOR2'S vessel was traveling 40+ MPH. 
  
  OPERATOR2 states that he was traveling approximately 15 MPH  and never saw any lights or boat until after his vessel struck OPERATOR1' vessel. OPERATOR1 states that he was near the shore when the collision occurred.  OPERATOR2 states that he was in the middle of the channel when the collision occurred. 
  
  After the collision, OPERATOR2 took OPERATOR1 and V1 OCCUPANT to shore, took V1 OCCUPANT's phone number, then left.  A third party who was on the lake near the accident, but did not witness the accident, called 911 and told both parties that he had reported the accident.  Neither OPERATOR1 nor OPERATOR2 called any emergency service to report that the accident occurred. 
  
  OPERATOR1 and V1 OCCUPANT transported themselves to Twin Lakes Hospital in Leitchfield, KY where they were treated for minor injuries, and then released.
