RedactedNarrative: At around 22:30 on 08/13/2016 Operator1 was operating his Supra with  Operator2 following behind in a borrowed Crownline, to Lost Creek Boat Ramp from Blue Gill Grill.  Shortly after passing under Awalt Bridge, Operator2''s vessel struck operator1’s Vessel from behind and on the right.  Nobody was injured.  
  
  Operator2 said that he did not see Operator1''s Vessel until right before the collision.  When Operator2 did see the other vessel he turned hard to his right to try to avoid hitting the other vessel. The evidence of the collision on Operator2''s boat was on the underside of the vessel on the left side of the keel and seems to back up what Operator2 stated about turning hard away from Operator1''s boat right before impact.  
  
  Because the vessels went under Awalt Bridge at different points, the bridge pilings may have blocked Operator2''s view of Operator1''s boat for a few seconds.  Based on the operator statements the accident occurred around 100 yards after passing under the bridge.  Both operators stated that both of the vessels'' lights were on and working. Upon my inspection of the vessels the lights were working on both vessels.  
  
  Operator1''s Vessel had some fiberglass damage along the railing and the bar that holds the wake boards was bent.  Operator1 had his vessel looked at and it was estimated that it would cost $10,000 to fix the vessel.  The Crownline operated by Operator2 had a couple of small chips and some scratches on the underside of the vessel.  
  
  Alcohol may have been a factor in the accident.  Operator1 Stated that both He and Operator2 had been drinking that evening. Operator2 stated that he had not had any alcohol that day.  I was unable to determine if alcohol was a factor because I was not contacted until two days after the accident.
