RedactedNarrative: I RANGER was asked to do a boat accident report on a boat that had capsized on 3/31/2012 at Baker Dam Reservoir in Washington County.  In my investigation I found that there had been no information on any of the individuals or boat  involved.   On 4/25/2012 I found that there was a family member who had some information about the incident.  I found that subject was at Baker Reservoir with his family with a new boat; they were having trouble starting the boat during the day because it was a pull start and you had to pump the gas.  OPERATOR had taken the boat on the lake approximately 1300-1330 hours and was anchored.  The winds started blowing and OPERATOR and his girlfriend were on the boat and could not get it started.  OPERATOR tried to start it with the pull start the boat began to rock and the wind blew waves into the boat causing it to capsize.  OPERATOR told occupant to swim to shore while he would stay out and hold onto the boat.  With wind and weather temperatures subject called 911.  Lifeflight and rescue workers were called out and they were able to get OPERATOR to shore safely because of his body temperature, life flight flew him to the hospital for further examination on hypothermia.  subject told me that the boat and motor are fine with no damage.  Later divers were able to recover all items believed to be in the boat.  subject told  me there was no lost property just an $80,000 life flight that insurance hopefully takes over.
