RedactedNarrative: Vessel 1 collided and ramped over Vessel 2 at approximately 12:20am on Saturday, July 18, 2015. I arrived on scene at 1:40am and conducted my investigation. V1 (operator) stated he was headed from Fork Creek toward Fort Loudon dam at approximately 35mph when he struck Vessel 2. Operator1 stated he did not see any navigation lights on the boat he struck and did not believe they were on at the time. Operator1'' wife was ejected as a result of the collision. She also stated she did not believe Vessel 2''s lights were on. The occupants of Vessel 2 stated they were drifting/fishing at the time of the collision. They stated their lights were on and working. According to their statements, just before impact both occupants were on the bow of Vessel 2. Operator2 was landing a fish and V2 occupant was netting the fish. They noticed Vessel 1 was bearing down on them and started yelling and waving their arms. V2 occupant stepped to the helm to grab a spotlight and Operator2 dove into the lowest part of Vessel 2. The collision then occurred and V2 occupant was ejected from Vessel 2. V2 occupant was wearing an inflatable pfd which did inflate. Two witnesses provided statements as well. Subject1 stated he saw Vessel 1 run over the top of Vessel 2 and observed a male and a female in the water afterward. Subject2 stated the same and added that the lights on Vessel 2 were on at the time of the collision. There were no injuries in the accident. During my investigation I observed the all around white light was illuminated on Vessel 2 and the navigation light switch was in the position of all navigation lights on. The bow light on Vessel 2 was damaged in the collision and was not present. 
  
  While speaking with Operator1 I observed several indicators of impairment. I determined he was the operator of Vessel 1 by his own admission and by his wife''s statement. Both Operator1'' admitted to consuming alcoholic beverages prior to the accident. I asked Operator1 to perform several field sobriety tests. He agreed and performed poorly on the tests. I placed him under arrest for BUI, Violation of Implied Consent and Reckless Operation.
