On April 27, 2023 at or around 2138 hours, a RANGER bass boat and a STRATOS bass boat collided on Beech Lake resulting in 2 injuries. *** On Thursday April 27, 2023, at 21:38hrs, I received a call from subject1 stating a boating accident had occurred on Beech Lake in Lexington, Tn. I arrived on scene at 21:53hrs. A preliminary investigation determined a 2021 18ft Ranger struck a 1999 21ft Stratos on the portside aft of the passenger compartment. The Ranger completely overrode the Stratos causing lacerations to the heads of both the passenger and operator of the Stratos. Both occupants transported themselves to Henderson County Community Hospital where they each received three staples.   

The incident is under investigation and a final report will be completed at a later date.
