RedactedNarrative: On 01-29-10 at approx. 1400 this officer received the call of a boating accident on Lake Des Arc.  Upon arrival there was nobody at the scene.  An officer with the Des Arc police department got the individual's information that were invovled in the accident.  One individual (victim) had been transported by ambulance to the hospital.  Contact was made with hospital staff and they advised the victim was going to be admitted due to hypothermia.  On 01-30-10 I spoke with the victim and passenger 2 about the accident.  They both stated they were leaving the boat ramp to go hunting and all of a sudden a strong gust of wind picked up and they hit a wave causing them to take on water over the bow.  As water was coming in over the bow, they all went to the back of the boat to try and keep the boat from sinking.  
  
  Passenger 2 stated they decided to jump out and swim for the bank when they were standing in water that was in the boat, at that point the boat overturned.  All individuals made it to the bank.  The victim was then transported to the hospital because of signs of hypothermia.
