On 07/03/2012 around 10:30 pm I received a call from TWRA dispatch about a boating accident on Timsford lake at the Loop Island and that the injured person was already at STMC hospital in Winchester,TN.  When I arrived at the hospital I spoke with the victim and his wife about the accident and the details of that night.  Wife began telling me that there were six people onboard the vessel that night and that they put on the water at bluegill grill around 5:30 pm and they started down the lake and that everybody on the boat was drinking but her.  I called the owner and told him to meet me at the rock creek boat ramp in which he did. Owner, the operator, gave me a statement that said they put on the lake around 5:30 pm and they headed toward the cliffs which was around Lost Creek area in Moore Co. where he had four or five beers then they proceeded to Rock Creek. When they got to the Rock Creek no wake area they turned around and started to head back to the bluegill grill.  When Owner came to the Loop Island he said he went around the left side of the Loop Island about 35mph and thought he was past it enough so he turned back right running his vessel aground on Loop Island. He said it was about 9:15 pm when the crash occured and that he had never been up there at night.  Owner miscalculation caused him to strike the Loop Island  almost dead center of it and at his speed caused his vessel to travel about 29yds to the center of the Loop Island. I had an Estill Springs police officer to take Owner to the hospital to draw some blood from him due to the accident with injuries.  I went to the accident scene to take pictures and collect evidence with one of the persons that was involved in the accident.  See notes and statements for more infomation on this accident.
