  On Sunday August 2 2010 at approximately 22:41 I, Officer, received a call from TWRA dispatch advising that there had been a possible boat accident reported on Boone Lake near Devault Bridge. I contacted Officers and advised them of the accident. They advised that they would be in route to Boone Lake from Mountain City.  I arrived at Jay''s Boat Dock at around 23:50. I arrived at Devault bridge by patrol boat at 24:00. At that time I received a call from dispatch advising that one injured male was being transported to Sycamore Shoals Medical Center.  The operator of the vessel involved in the accident was being transported to Davis Boat Dock by some fishermen.  Officers met the operator (51) at Davis Boat Dock. Officer met the injured occupant (18) at Sycamore Shoals Medical Center to perform an interview and collect a statement. I arrived at operator’s vessel at approximately 00:45. The Vessel''s TN number was TN 5399 DX. The vessel was located in a cove east of the TWRA Access Area on Hamilton road.  The majority of the vessel was out of the water and had run aground. The bow of the vessel had plowed through the bank and the trolling motor suffered some apparent damage. There were a few visible gouges in the fiberglass of the hull where the vessel slid up the bank. Several fishermen assisted operator in removing the vessel from bank.  Operator’s vessel was towed back to his trailer where he started the engine before he loaded the vessel onto the trailer.
  
   Based on witness statements, it appeared that the operator was traveling on plane for a short distance when he was unsure of his location. He struck the bank and ran aground shortly thereafter. operator said he was traveling between 20-25 mph at the time of impact. Upon impact, subject, was propelled forward to the front of the vessel. Subject struck the front of the vessel causing his injuries.
