Passengers of a Sea Ray boat that crashed into a docked boat in New Hampshire’s Lake Winnipesaukee fled the scene before officers arrived, according to New Hampshire State Police. 

Officers responded to the Saturday night crash at 11 p.m. The Sea Ray “had ended up on rocks,” in Wolfeboro’s Winter Harbor after crashing into a docked boat, according to a press release from state police.

The docked boat had no occupants at the time of the crash and there have been no reported injuries.

Passengers of the Sea Ray were seen getting picked up by a Blue 1997 Wellcraft, registered out of Pelham, after the crash. The Wellcraft then headed toward Tuftonboro, where it was found by police on Sunday morning, according to police. 

The investigation into the crash is still ongoing. New Hampshire Marine Patrol asks anyone who witnessed the crash or has additional details to contact Sergeant Nicholas Haroutunian at (603) 227-2112 or by email at [email protected], or call State Police dispatch at (603) 846-3333.

Editor’s note: New Hampshire State Police reported the Sea Ray is 50 feet, but Boston.com has removed that detail after a reader pointed out the boat appears smaller, which we could not independently verify.
