  On this date, the undersigned was detailed to Lake Mohawk, Sparta Township, Sussex County in reference to a hit and run vessel accident with persons in the water and injuries.  Vessel #2 (V2) was adrift approximately mid-lake off the shore of Birch Parkway with its navigation lights on, when Vessel #1 (V1) later identified impacted it on the starboard side at a high rate of speed during low light hours.  V1 left the scene without rendering assistance and its second passenger is still unidentified at this time.  All 5 passengers were injured on V2 resulting from the impact and one occupant was ejected into the water. 
   
  V2 occupant1 was knocked unconscious as a result of the crash and ended up in the water from V2.  V2 occupant2 and Operator2 jumped into the water to rescue V2 occupant1.  V2 occupant1 was transported by helicopter to Morristown Medical Center with injuries to her head and leg.  V2 occupant3 was also knocked unconscious on V2, he suffered a concussion as well as a laceration and bruising on the left side of his head.  V2 occupant3 was transported to Morristown Medical Center for treatment and later released.  Operator2 suffered bruises on her legs as well as back pain, whiplash and bleeding from her mouth.  She was later treated and released at Morristown Medical Center.  The other two occupants on V2; V2 occupant4 and V2 occupant2 both suffered from back pain and bruising to their head, both refused medical treatment.  The Sparta Police Department, Lake Mohawk Marine Patrol and Sparta EMS responded to the area prior to State Police arrival.
   
  Directly after the incident, Sparta Police Department advised the suspect vessel (later identified V1) was a white fiberglass deck boat with black or dark blue sides that struck the victim's vessel (V2) and departed the scene without stopping and rendering assistance.  The hit and run suspect vessel had two occupants on it, both described as white males approximately 20 years old.  A search commenced with multiple suspected vessels for the above described suspects with negative results at that time.  The search 
  was postponed till day light hours due to limited visibility. 
   
  The victims on V2 advised that the vessel that struck them was traveling at a high rate of speed, approximately 30 to 40MPH prior to the collision.  They further advised that the vessel did have its navigation lights prior to the crash, but shut them off as they fled the scene.  The victims on V2 attempted to get the attention of V1 prior to the collision with negative results.  There was an exchange of words between the two vessels' occupants prior to V1's departure.  Written statements from the occupants of V2 all corroborated each other. 
   
  The following morning the search for the hit and run vessel continued on Lake Mohawk with the assistance of Sparta Police Department (See State Police Investigation Report #V510 2015 00014).  Sparta Police Officers located V1 with NJ Registration, it matched the above description and had new damage that appeared consistent with being involved in a collision.  The registered owner was not aware of any damage on the vessel and explained that his son was using the boat (V1) the previous evening.  The operator of V1 was identified via investigation.  There were no injuries reported on V1.  Operator1 was uncooperative with the investigation and refused to provide the name of the other occupant on V1.  He was charged and issued summonses.  See State Police Investigation Report V510 2015 00014.
