RedactedNarrative: On September 9,2023 I was notified of an accident with a sunken vessel. I called the complainant which was a bystander on shore who had just witnessed the accident and had no other information. I was able to get dispatch to contact Knox county fire who also responded and they had contact information for the owner/operator of the vessel. I called him twice and texted him with no luck. Monday September 12, 2023 I visited his address listed on the REAL system and was able to make contact with him. 
  
  He stated he was traveling on Fort Loudon upstream with his Brother and another individual. Operator1 was the operator and he was traveling upstream past Looney Island on the left side of the island and another larger cruiser vessel was traveling up stream and went to the right side of the island. After they passed the island the cruiser passed Operator1 on the right side. Operator1 noticed the big wake coming off of the cruiser and turned around and tried to make it back to the island to avoid the big wake. He was unable to make it back without missing the wake and he said on the third wave his bow went under and ejected all three passengers. The cruiser continued on upstream and Operator1 and the other passengers exited the water uninjured. They could not provide a description of the cruiser well enough for me to identify.
