There were nine individuals recreational cruising in Soddy Creek on Chickamauga Lake in Hamilton County at approximately 2300 on 8-15-2110. The parties involved were on a pontoon boat. The vessel was returning to Holly Circle boat ramp in Soddy Creek. The occupants state that the vessel struck something and the motor shuddered then stalled out and would not restart. Victim jumped in the water to switch the motor leads to the other battery on the rear of the pontoon. In the process of switching the leads over, Victim grounded himself out on the boat and received a shock from either the motor or the boat battery. Severals individuals on the boat drug the victim back into the boat. One individual called 9-1-1 immeadiately. Two of the men onboard rowed the pontoon to a nearby dock. When I arrived Victim was on the deck of the boat shaking and convulsing. The people on board advised he had vomited right before I arrived on scene. Soon after my arrival, paramedics arrived and began to treat the victim. He was transported to Erlanger Medical Center in Chattanooga and released the next day.
