RedactedNarrative: On July 16, 2022, at approximately 1630 hours, myself and 2107 responded to a swamped boat call through CPD on the Barkley Reservoir/ Cumberland River at mile marker 126. Once on scene, we were informed that the two occupants on the vessel were safe and made it to land with the help of other boaters on the river. 
  
  After accessing the scene and speaking with the operator and passenger (owner) of the vessel, we discovered what had taken place before we arrived. At approximately 1615 hours, Operator and Subject1 launched their 15 ft. Allison boat from the McGregor Park boat ramp in Clarksville, TN. Before this launch, they recently had a new outboard motor installed on the boat and this was the first time taking the vessel out on the water. 
  
  After operating the vessel approximately 50 yards off the boat ramp at idle to low speed, toward the center of the channel of the Cumberland River, the wood transom began to crack and snap off the stern of the boat, causing the outboard motor and half of the transom to fall into the river and sink to the bottom. 
  
  At that point in time, Operator and Subject1 yelled for help to their family who was on a different boat near the park courtesy dock. The boat began to take on water from the stern and it swamped in a very short period. Operator had a PFD on when she entered the water but it came off because it was not buckled correctly. 
  
  At that time their family arrived on a different boat and they threw Operator a different life jacket that she put on her person. Subject1 entered the water and used a type IV throw cushion to help her stay afloat. The vessel was swamped at this time and the family hooked a rope to the sinking boat and began to pull it back to the boat ramp at McGregor Park. 
  
  Other boats in the area pulled Subject1 and Operator out of the water and back to safety at the boat ramp. The family was able to pull the sinking boat back to the ramp. Once it was stationary, the current of the river pulled the sinking boat down the ramp and it sunk entirely out of sight. 
  
  At this point, Officers arrived on scene and began to use our Sonar to find the boat at the bottom of the river. The boat was found at approximately 20 feet deep, about 40 yards from the boat ramp and river bank. A dive team was contacted to extract the sunken vessel from the river. After a dive team attempted to find the vessel underwater, they failed to locate the vessel and believe that it has moved into the channel of the river. At this time the vessel remains in the bottom of the river and the Corp. of Engineers have been notified.
