RedactedNarrative: This report documents a two vessel property damage accident on the Illinois River near Mile Marker 164. The operator of Vessel 1 was following Vessel 2 east out of Detweiller Marina towards the main river channel. Vessel 2 turned left (north) and Vessel 1 followed, jumping the wake of Vessel 2. Vessel 1 attempted to overtake Vessel 2 on Vessel 2 port side.  Vessel 2 made a hard left u-turn (to jump his own wake) which put him in the path of Vessel 1. Vessel 1 failed to yield the right of way to Vessel 2 while overtaking and collided into and over the bow of Vessel 2. The collision caused damage in excess of $2000.00. No injuries reported. End of report.
