RedactedNarrative: On april 4th, 2020 around 16:15, a mastercraft ski boat entered the tryon bay bridge wake zone on lake lure. Operator1’s vessel (vessel 1) was traveling above no wake speed as he went underneath tryon bay bridge and into tryon bay. 
  
  Witnesses estimated his speed was in excess of 10 miles per hour. He passed  a 17 foot tracker aluminum fishing. Operator2’s vessel (vessel 2) was stationary as he was fishing. Operator1 then made an abrupt power turn after traveling approximately 60 feet past operator2’s vessel to exit tryon bay. 
  
  Operator1 was traveling at speeds exceeding 10 miles per hours as he struck the bow of operator2’s vessel, after making the sharp 180 degree turn. Operator1 claimed that because the bow of his boat was raised during his turn he did not see operator2’s vessel. 
  
  Operator2 jumped out of his vessel just before operator1’s boat impacted his, and he swam to shore. Operator2 injured his toe while jumping out of his vessel. Operator2 refused treatment at the scene and two weeks later had his toe x-rayed, but it showed no breaks or factures. 
  
  Operator1’s vessel had minor fiberglass damage. Operator2’s trolling motor was destroyed and part of the aluminum front deck was twisted with a tear in the aluminum. Three coastguard approved pfd were onboard vessel 2, but none were used. The operator of vessel 1 was charged with operating while impaired by sgt. of the lake lure police department. Operator1 has not responded to my calls or voicemails in regards to getting a mb 4.1 filled out, so the status and use of the pfds on board his vessel are unkown at this time.
