On 06/07/2013, I was notified by the Alexander City Trooper Post about a vessel that had sunk. I then responded to the Blue Creek area. Upon arrival, I observed a 30' Wellcraft approximately 80% underwater and leaking fuel into the lake. I notified Capt. about the accident and then called Towboat U.S. to contain the fuel spill. The owner of the vessel arrived on the scene a short time later and then authorized Towboat U.S. to raise the vessel from the lake bottom. Towboat stated that after the vessel was raised, there was no visible damage to the hull. The cause of the accident is unknown at the time of this report.
