Operator of boat #1 was changing direction and did not see a dock on his starboard side. He damaged the starboard side of the watercraft from the bow approximately 4-6'. I searched the area 5 days after the accident occurred and could not find any damaged docks or sea walls. I contacted Effingham Water Authority and asked if anyone reported a boat accident and or reported damage to their property. EWA advised they did not receive any information or complaint of the boat accident.

I was advised of this accident as I was at Saint Anthony Memorial Hospital handling a hunter accident. The nurse advised me there was a person in one of the rooms who was injured from a boat accident at Lake Sara. I spoke with operator and he advised he hit a dock and didnt know where it occurred. The passenger in the boat advised me of a general area where he thought it occurred. At this point it is unfounded as to where the exact accident location took place.
