RedactedNarrative: Watercraft #1 was traveling SE on lake toward Swedetown Bay. Watercraft #2 was driving E-NE toward Ely Island. The two boats collided while underway. 
  
  The accident was reported after the fact, and both parties had left the scene after exchanging information. Both operators stated they did not see the other boat until just before impact. 
  
  The Deputy talked to Operator #1 by phone an hour and a half after the incident occurred, and met with him the following morning. Operator #1 stated he "looked over his right shoulder and there was WC #2. 
  
  Operator #1 yanked on the motor and turned the boat, but they still collided. He said it was almost as though WC #2 had come up behind him and was overtaking him. WC #2 was not directly behind him and there was a bit of an angle when they collided." 
  
  Deputy met with Operator #2 later that day after obtaining contact information from Operator #1. Operator #2 stated "he was heading to his cabin on Ely Island when he saw a pontoon boat about 1/4 mile ahead of him. It was crossing in front of him and as it was crossing there was another boat coming the other way. He saw these two boats come close to each other and thought they were almost going to crash. He saw them go near a rock pile and then turned around to look forward and saw another boat in front of him. He turned his wheel away from the other boat and next thing he knew he was being thrown from his seat. He thought the collision was more of a side swipe. If he had seen the other boat coming, he would have slowed down or stopped." 
  
  There were no injuries associated with this incident. It is unknown if alcohol was a factor.
