RedactedNarrative: Operator #1 Stated: "While traveling south around the bend listed on the coordinates, I encountered the other vessel who was in the center of the canal, I slowed to a halt and placed my vessel into reverse as it seemed the other vessel was uncertain of what to do. The other vessel then turned his vessel sharply to the left directly in front of my vessel causing a collision." 
  
  Operator #2 Stated: "We were traveling at idle speed in Round About Creek. The tide was mid to low and I could not see him coming through the creek. Once I seen him, I observed him to be on plane and traveling at a high rate of speed. When he came around the bend it appeared he was going to try to avoid hitting us by going around us on the starboard side. I quickly turned to the port side to avoid a collision at which time the other vessel steered to his starboard while traveling at a high rate of speed. He struck the starboard side of my vessel, puncturing a large hole through the fiberglass." 
  
  Investigation revealed Vessel #1 cruising on plane in Round About Creek located in Little Egg Harbor Township, Ocean County, towards the Mystic Island lagoons.

While both vessels were approaching a bend in Round About Creek, Vessel# 1 struck Vessel #2 on the starboard side bow area. Vessel# 1 sustained damage(bent metal) to the front of the port side sponson. Vessel # 1 also sustained damage to the front railing and seats( detached from floor and shifted). Vessel # 2 sustained damage(large hole through the fiberglass) to the starboard side bow area. 
  
  Victim #1 sustained a laceration above his left elbow. Victim #2 sustained an abrasion to his left arm. No other complaints of · injury were reported. The cause of this accident was due to Vessel #1 traveling at a high rate of speed in a no wake zone.
