RedactedNarrative: On 04 June 2018, at approximately 17:00, Operator1 was traveling south on Bank's Channel, when she began texting a friend about dinner plans at a local restaurant.  Operator1 stated she was only texting for a brief period when she struck vessel #2.  Operator1 was ejected from her vessel when the crash occurred.  After the crash, vessel #1 was unoccupied and continued to travel north on Bank's Channel at a high rate of speed.  Vessel #1 traveled unoccupied for approximately one half-mile before it struck two docks on the east side of Bank's Channel.  Operator1 stated the passengers on vessel #2 threw her a Type IV PFD and assisted her into their boat.
  
  Operator2 stated he was traveling south on Bank's Channel when vessel #1 struck the starboard side of his vessel.  He stated when he first saw vessel #1 it was traveling south on Bank's Channel approximately 150yds away and that the next time he saw vessel #1, it was just prior to impact.  Operator2 stated he was unable to avoid being struck due to the high rate of speed at which vessel #1 was traveling.  Operator2 stated that after vessel #1 struck his vessel, he watched it travel north on Bank's Channel and ran into several docks.  Operator2 was unaware of anyone being ejected from vessel #1 and thought vessel #1 was trying to leave the scene after the crash occurred.  After vessel #1 had run into the docks, he realized that it was unoccupied and at that point he observed the operator of vessel #1 in the water and threw her a PFD and assisted her into his boat.
  
  a passenger on vessel #2, stated he observed Operator1 texting on her phone just before the crash.  He stated he was seated just in front of the console and looked right at Operator1 prior to impact.
  
  Vessel #1 was traveling approximately 30 mph when it struck vessel #2.  Vessel #1 struck vessel #2 mid way down on the starboard side and traveled down the starboard side of vessel #2 causing extensive damage to both vessels.  
  
  Operator1 indicated in her statement and to the passengers on vessel #2 that she had both hands on her phone, was looking down, and never saw or reduced her speed prior to striking vessel #2.
  
  There were no injuries as a result of the boating crash.
  
  Officer with Wrightsville Beach PD administered a PBT test on Operator1, which was positive (0.05).
