RedactedNarrative: On July 4, 2018, at 3:30 am, I was contacted by ALEA Decatur Dispatch of a 2 boat collision in Clear Creek. I called complainant back, and he stated that he had been hit by another vessel, and he got that person''s telephone number. He then traveled to Smith Lake Dam Boat Launch and trailered his vessel. Vessel # 2 operator then traveled to Double Springs before contacting authorities. After gathering some of the facts, I instructed him to travel on home to his residence, and I would be finishing the investigation on Friday due to him already leaving the lake. I called the number twice at 3:45 am that morning and there was no answer. After later investigation, that phone number belonged to Vessel # 1 operator. On July 6, 2018, both vessel  operators were interviewed, photographs were taken of both vessels and statements were received. 
  
  According to the witness statements and evidence gathered, vessel #1 struck vessel #2 on the port side, damaging the side of the hull and taking off the wake board tower that was attached. Vessel #2 was anchored down just inside the left side of Racoon Creek. Vessel #1 was traveling due east out of Racoon Creek when he struck Vessel #2. Significant damage was observed to vessel #1 but the driver was able to continue where he beached the boat at his campsite in the Clear Creek Campground. All parties stated that required lights were operational at the time of collision. No injuries were reported.
