RedactedNarrative: On 04/07/18 at approximately 9:00pm, V-1 was heading up the Imperial River in an easterly direction with only the owner/operator on board at the time. 
  
  V-1 was reportedly traveling at just slightly above idle speed when it collided with the west side of an L-shaped residential dock. In the same instant, V-1 also collided with V-2, which was resting in a boat lift attached to the dock. V-2 was unoccupied at the time of this accident. 
  
  Immediately following impact, V-1 operator proceeded to back away from the dock and continue on its easterly track up the river. Upon hearing the collision from inside the home, the owner/operator and his wife immediately ran outside, but were unable to make contact with V-1 operator. 
  
  Damage to the dock included several broken wood cross-members and/or support braces as well as a broken/missing security light. V-2 sustained substantial chips and/or scratches to the gel coat on the bottom of the hull in the aft portion of the vessel. V-1 sustained damage to the bow section of the aluminum deck portion of the vessel. 
  
  Review of security camera footage provided post-accident by the owner of V-2 corroborated statements made by both parties involved and confirmed that the operator of V-1 was a fault for the accident.
  
  V-1 operator stated that he momentarily diverted his attention away from the direction of travel and toward the instrument panel of the vessel just prior to impact with the dock in order to make some adjustments to dash switches. He stated that he did not realize that he had done any damage to either the dock or V-2. 
  
  V-1 operator is being cited for violation of Inland Navigation Rule #5 - Failure to maintain proper lookout resulting in an accident. He is also being warned for leaving the scene of an accident without notifying the person affected, no sound producing device onboard and fire extinguisher not in serviceable condition.
  
  There were no reported injuries and no safety equipment was deployed with regard to this boating accident.
