RedactedNarrative: On 04/16/2016 at 8:36 PM, Vessel 1 was cruising northbound on Kinkaid Lake headed towards the Kinkaid Lake Marina.  
  
  Vessel 2 was drifting without the motor engaged on the west side of the point adjacent to Flat Rock Cove.  At the time of the crash it was dark with little to no wind.  
  
  The operator of Vessel 1 states he did not see Vessel 2 as he approached.  Upon seeing Vessel 1 approaching and deciding a collision was imminent, the operator and single occupant of Vessel 2 jumped out of their watercraft.
  
   Vessel 1 then collided with the starboard side stern of Vessel 2 and went airborne over the vessel.  As Vessel 1 went over Vessel 2, it collided with the bimini top, steering wheel and windshield of Vessel 2.  The final impact was the keel  and prop of Vessel 1 hitting the interior of the port side bow of Vessel 2.  After the collision, Vessel 1 came to rest.  Neither vessel was operational after the impact.  No serious injuries were reported.  Vessel 1 has damage to the fiberglass on the starboard side and to the rub rail on the port side.  Vessel 2 has extensive damage and is likely a total loss.
  
  The operator and occupants of Vessel 1 made statements advising they were cruising at a speed of approximately 10-15 mph and they never saw any lights on Vessel 2.  The operator and occupants of Vessel 2  stated Vessel 1 was traveling at a high rate of speed and advised their lights were on at the time of the collision.  The investigation of this crash revealed the operator of Vessel 1 was operating a higher speed than was stated and most likely a higher speed than the 25 mph speed limit which is required on Kinkaid Lake after sunset.  Both the stern light and bow light were destroyed during the collision so it was not possible to determine if they were on, however, it was noted during the navigation light switch on Vessel 2 was in the "on" position.

The investigation has also revealed the operator was operating in a careless manner due to his excessive speed.  He has been charged with careless operation of a watercraft.
