RedactedNarrative: On 07/06/2019 at approximately 2230 hours, officers were able to locate the first vessel, a Chaparral 244 Sunesta (GA0572CK). Due to Operator2 having sustained injuries from the collision, Forsyth County Marine Patrol drove Operator2's vessel with him in it, to Vanns tavern boat ramp; where he was transported to Northeast Georgia Medical Center. Operator2's vessel was then towed to the dry storage docks on Port Royale Marina by Forsyth County Marine Unit. Operator2's vessel had scuff marks down the port side of the vessel and had a vibration in the prop when Forsyth County Marine Patrol drove Operator2 to Vanns Tavern. Game Warden, went to the hospital and obtained a statement from Operator2 as well as a signed consent to search form for the electronics of the vessel.  
  	 Cpl. and myself, then began to search for the house boat that was involved. Cpl. located the vessel docked at Port Royale Marina. The house boat a 67' Stardust Phoenix "Chill Pill" (GA9503EU) had damage to the port side of the vessel. Upon arrival, I also noticed, that the navigation lights and allyl other lights were still turned on. We were able to locate all occupants of the house boat and began speaking with them about what had occurred. 
  	After getting statements from Subject, Operator2, and the other occupants , it was determined that the Stardust Phoenix was traveling south from Port Royale Marina and the Chaparral was traveling north from Three Sisters Islands. The port side of Operator2's vessel struck the port side of Subject's house boat. As a result of the collision, the frame of Subject's vessel was pushed in a great amount. Operator2 was very adamant that the boat he came into contact with was dark and did not have any lights on. Subject was asked about whether or not his navigation lights were on. Subject responded by telling me that they were docked at Pelican Pete's having dinner. Subject went on to say, that before he ever leaves a dock he always checks to make sure his navigation lights are on and working. 
  	On 07/07/2019, Game Warden and I, went to Port Royale Marina to view the security footage to determine if Subject's vessel had its navigation lights on. I was able to locate Subject's vessel in the security footage and determined that before Subject's vessel left the dock at Port Royale, his navigation light were indeed on. 
  	 Based off of my training, knowledge, experience, and witness statements, I believe the reason for the collision was due to violation of rules of the road and lack of maintaining a proper lookout and too fast for conditions. 
  
  	 *** Subject had asked Cpl. about the condition of Operator2. Cpl. told him that he was hurt pretty bad and was taken to the hospital. Subject responded with I thought he was dead.
