RedactedNarrative: On June 26, 2016 at approximately 1925 hours a boat accident occurred on Foys Lake where an open bow 17 foot motorboat (boat #1) collided into a pontoon boat (boat #2) that was adrift in the water. Boat #1 was at cruising speed approximately 15 to 20 mph heading east towards the county boat launch on Foys Lake.  The sun was to the west behind boat #1. The water was calm with the wind at a slight breeze from the east. Boat # 1 had 5 people on board the boat. There was one paddle board placed in the middle row between the seats. There were also 2 tubes and an inflatable raft on the boat. According to all four passengers on boat #1 there were no obstructions blocking the view of the driver of boat #1. 
  
  The operator of boat #1 claimed there was a person or a tube in the front of the boat that was blocking his view. Operator #1 said he saw something shining on the water in front of him, but by the time he saw the pontoon it was too late and he crashed into the pontoon. Operator #2 said the bow of boat #1 was not blocking his view. Passenger #1 was sitting in a seat in the bow of the boat. Passenger #2 was sitting in the middle of the boat across from the driver’s seat. Passenger #3 was sitting in a seat behind passenger #2 and across from passenger #4. Passenger #4 was sitting in a seat behind the driver’s seat and across from passenger #3. All four passengers said they were all facing towards the back of the boat and were not watching in front of them when the accident occurred. 
  
  Boat #2 was adrift with the engine off approximately 60 to 70 yards from the southern shoreline and approximately 85 to 100 yards from the island shoreline. Boat #2 was adrift in this location for approximately 10 to 15 minutes prior to the accident occurring. Boat #2 was facing from north-northeast to south-southeast. There were 3 occupants of boat #2. Occupant number 1 was in the front of Boat #2. Occupant #2 was at the back starboard corner of Boat #2. Occupant #3 was already in the water swimming at the time of the accident. 
  
  Boat #1 collided into the center of the starboard side of boat #2. Boat #1 was angled slightly towards the back of boat #2. After the collision, Boat #1 went upwards and onto Boat #2 then slid backwards back into the water. Boat #1's engine was still running in the forward gear after the accident occurred and it started heading in the direction of the island at a slow rate of speed. The operator of Boat #1 had a laceration to the front of his forehead and began bleeding. Passenger #4 drove boat #1 to the county boat ramp for help.
  
  By this time a witness from shoreline had already called 911 and police and medical were in route to the boat launch. Operator #1 was transported by ambulance to the hospital for his injuries. Passenger #1 had no known injuries at the time of the incident; however, did wake up the next day with a swollen hurting ankle. He refused any medical attention when asked. Passenger #3 received a laceration to the back of her head from hitting it on the windshield of boat #1. Passenger #1 was transported to the hospital by her friends where she received 7 staples for the laceration. Passenger #3 and 4 had only minor bruising and scratches. 
  
  Boat #2's injuries/occupants statuses following the accident were as follows: Occupant # 1 did not acknowledge of any injuries at the time of the accident.  However, she did take herself to receive medical attention within a few days after the accident for complaint of injuries. Occupant #2 complaint of internal head injuries (concussion) at the time of the accident, however, refused medical treatment. Occupant #3 had left the area after the incident and I have not been able to get into contact with him.
