RedactedNarrative: Operator and passenger aboard a vessel that left the main ramp at C J Brown Reservoir and headed towards the marina. They turned and went along the beach and the south side of the lake. They turned north and halfway between the tower and the picnic area, they heard a bang. 
  
  The transom broke off, and the boat started to sink. The two people on board were not wearing life jackets but were able to grab on to parts from the boat and start swimming towards the west shore. Two fisherman at the point south of the beach saw the accident and headed toward it. They got the victims out of the water and towed the sinking vessel to the main boat ramp.
