RedactedNarrative: On Saturday, May 24, 2014 at 2330 hours, myself and Officer received information from TWRA dispatch concerning a 2 vessel accident, where 1 vessel had left the scene, near Lakeview Marina on Boone Lake, in Sullivan County, Tennessee. The initial information was received by TWRA dispatch from a phone call by the Sullivan County 911 dispatch. The originating caller stated that he had heard a loud crashing sound on Boone Lake, then observed a vessel leaving the scene, followed by another vessel leaving in tow. 
  
  At 2340 hours, myself and Officer arrived at the location we were given, just upstream from Lakeview Marina. 
  
  At 000 myself and Officer checked around the TVA dam access area for any vessels being towed. 
  At 005 Officer checked around Lakeview Marina for any vessels being towed. 
  
  At 015 Officer made contact with a 1989 Sonar vessel (TN 8685 BE), being towed towards Rockingham Marina on Boone Lake in Washington County, Tennnessee. Officer made contact with the Sonar vessel operator Operator1, and his father who was towing the Sonar vessel with a 1973 Sea Ray Cabin vessel (TN 7579 BE). 
  
  Myself and Officer responded to Rockingham Marina to take pictures and document information on the Sonar vessel. I observed damage to the right rear gunwale. 
  
  Based on interviews with Sonar boat operator Operator1, at the time of the accident there were 5 total people on board the vessel. Operator1 stated they had run out of fuel, and were drifting. While waiting for fuel to be delivered they observed an oncoming vessel, and feared they would be struck. All 5 people on board the Sonar vessel jumped into the water. The oncoming vessel struck the Sonar vessel, backed up and left the scene. There was no additional information that could be gathered on the vessel that left the scene. A nearby vessel came to the aid of the people in the water, and transported 4 individuals to the residence. Father arrived in a Sea Ray Cabin vessel to transport Operator1 and to tow the Sonar vessel. 
  
  On Sunday, May 25, 2014 at 1230 hours, I met with vessel owner to gather his personal information and take additional pictures of the Sonar vessel. 
  
  Based on investigation, it is undetermined what vessel might have caused the damage to the Sonar vessel (TN 8685 BE).
