The vessel was traveling east in Chuckfee Bay heading to the mouth of the bay. The vessel struck a piling in the bay and the operator lost control. The impact caused both the operator and the passenger to be thrown overboard. The vessel capsized shortly after impact. 

The heavy fog and light rain obstructed the operators view before the crash occurred. The operator stated he had a light bar on the front of his vessel but he continued to turn it on and off due to the thick fog.  

The witness was on a nearby dock when the crash occurred. The witness retrieved the passenger and the operator out of the water shortly after the crash.

The vessel suffered major damage on the port bow.
