Vessel 1, with one person on board, was travelling upriver while fishing when the motor stopped running and Vessel 1 went into a spin downriver due to the current.  Vessel 1 then struck the 2nd Street Bridge Pier, causing Vessel 1 to capsize.  The Operator of Vessel 1 was ejected during the capsizing, but was able to hold onto a log near the bridge.  The Operator remained in the water for approximately one hour before he was rescued by emergency services.  The Operator had no apparent injuries and refused all medical treatment.
