On 07/29/23, at approximately 9:38 PM there was a boat accident at Apple Canyon Lake. Vessel 1 and Vessel 2 were traveling south on Apple Canyon Lake. Vessel 2 slowed down for an occupant to leave the vessel to urinate. Vessel 1 did not see Vessel 2 and impacted Vessel 2''s stern. Due to operator inattention, the Vessel 1 operator did not see Vessel 2''s stern light. Vessel 1 struck Vessel 2 causing impact. Vessel 1 was still in gear with the bow caught on top of Vessel 2''s motor. Vessel 1 was the at fault vessel. One of Vessel 2''s occupants was returning to the vessel via swim platform upon collision, causing her to re-enter the water. Vessel 1 improperly overtook Vessel 2 and operated carelessly when it struck Vessel 2. Both operators were impaired by alcohol and were arrested for operation under the influence.
