On November 1, 2010 at approximately 19:30 I received information about a boat accident on Boone Lake. I arrived on scene at approximately 19:50, and was the first TWRA officer on scene. The accident consisted of a single victim and a single vessel that ran aground on an island that was exposed due to the lake draw down. When I arrived EMS was en route to the accident scene to recover the victim. Once recovered, EMS transported Victim to Johnson City Medical Center. Victim's injuries consisted of a head injury, a cut on his forehead, a broken collar bone, and some minor abrasions on his back. Upon my arrival on scene I found and secured any and all witnesses and began gathering statements. Officers and investigator soon arrived on scene and began to assist me. Once all available witnesses were interviewed, officers boarded a TWRA Vessel and traveled to the accident scene to secure evidence, document pertinent information and take photographs. Officer went to the Johnson City Medical Center to interview the victim. The vessel was recovered the next day by TWRA officers, and transported to a secure TWRA facility. It was determined that the vessel struck the exposed island and traveled approximately 107 feet and rolled one and a half times until coming to rest on the shore of the island. The victim was most likely ejected from the vessel on the initial roll.
