RedactedNarrative: On 7/17/22, i spoke with operator1 in reference to a boating incident he was involved in on 7/9/22.  Operator1 was the operator of one of the vessels involved.  He was operating vessel 1.  Operator1 reported that he, his two children, his girlfriend and her child were on board vessel 1 when the incident occurred.  Operator1 reported that he and his group had been spending time on a sandbar in the rent river.  
  
  He reported his vessel just left the sandbar when he heard a vessel coming in his direction from behind him.  He reported that he suddenly saw an out of control boat come around the curve in the river.  This out of control vessel is vessel 2.  Vessel 2 only had one individual on the vessel that was coming at him.  Operator1 reported he quickly drove the boat to his port, left, side back to the sandbar.  He did this in an attempt to avoid being collided into by vessel 2.  Operator1 estimated vessel 2's speed to be approximately 20mph.  
  
  Operator1 reported that prior to the collision, two of the three passengers on vessel 2 were ejected from the vessel.  Operator1 reported he did not see them get ejected, but saw two individuals in the water after the collision.  Operator1 reported that vessel 2 collided with the motor of the vessel he was on, vessel 1.  
  
  Operator1 reported that after the collision, his vessel had to be towed back to the ramp.  When i spoke with him, he reported vessel 1 was currently in the shop for repairs.  Operator1 reported the cowling of the motor of vessel 1 was badly damaged as well as other parts of the motor.  I also spoke with the operator of vessel 1 on 7/17/22.  
  
  The operator and owner of vessel 2 reported that he was taking a left turn in the trent river going approximately 10-15mph when the center console came disconnected from the floor and went over the starboard, right, side of the vessel.  Operator2 reported the center console was hanging over the side of vessel 2 by wires.  Operator2 reported he was ejected over the starboard side of vessel 2 along with one of the passengers.  Passenger 2 was not ejected from vessel 2.  After operator2 and subject were ejected, vessel 2 collided with the motor of vessel 1.  
  
  Operator2 reported, he exchanged information with operator1 after the collision.  Vessel 2 was not damaged in the collision.  I did observe and photograph vessel 2.  I did observe that the center console was not attached to the floor of the vessel.  However, the screws were still attached to the floor.  Nothing further.
