On September 26, 2013 around 5pm, I received a call from Baldwin 911 center of a boating accident in Mifflin Lake, just north of the power lines. I had 911 dispatch the local VFD Stations 7400 and 7800 that have boats to assist me. Officer, with State Lands, was close to the area and came to assist. All assisting units arrived at Cliffs Landing; I launched my boat and had a paramedic and Officer ride with me. As we arrived on scene the vessels bow was dug up into the east bank of the lake. the passenger appeared to be OK. the operator, was complaining of pain in several locations (back; left arm; chest). A “C” collar was placed on Operator’s neck and a SAMS splint on his left arm. Sta.74 boat arrived on scene within a few minutes with a EMT. Operator was packaged, placed on a back board, transferred to Station 74s’ boat, and transported to Cliffs Landing. Life flight was landing as we were arriving. Operator was loaded into the Helicopter and flown to USA Medical. 
Occupant had no apparent injuries, just wet. Occupant told me that they had just left one tree top (crappie fishing) and was moving north up the river. He said they were going about 45 when the boat turned hard right and ejected him. Occupant said as he was swimming to the boat he could hear Operator moaning and praying. Occupant climbed into the boat with Operator and called 911.
North Baldwin SAR retrieved the boat from the scene so Occupant and I could notify wife of operator. There was no apparent damage to the vessel hull, prop, or lower unit. The vessel was turned over at the Arian T. Martin at Cliffs landing.
