Vessel 1, with three persons on board, was being operated on the river at flood stage (the water was also moving very fast).  As the Operator of Vessel 1 operated under a low hanging branch, the two additional Occupants aboard Vessel 1 were knocked out of Vessel 1 but were able to hang onto the side of Vessel 1.  As a result of the additional weight on the gunwale, Vessel 1 took on water and capsized, ejecting the Operator into the water as well.  The Operator and one of the Occupants were able to swim to a nearby island; they tried unsuccessfully to grab the Victim as well but could not reach him and the Victim floated out of sight.  The Operator then swam from the island to shore to request assistance.  Rescue personnel arrived on scene and transported the Occupant still on the island to shore and onto the hospital.  The Victim was recovered on July 14, 2013 at approximately 1430 by the Conesville Fire Department.
