RedactedNarrative: At approximately 10:30 p.m. on 9/5/2020, Operator was operating a 14ft Monark in Upper Grand River heading toward the Grand River Flats with two passengers (Occupant 1 and Occupant 2).  The group was headed to begin frogging in the Grand River Flats when they spotted a frog near the bank before turning into the Grand River Flats.  Operator circled the vessel around and approached the frog along the bank when the front of the vessel ran on top of a log protruding from the bank.  
  
  This then caused the vessel to begin taking on water from the stern of the vessel.  As the boat sank, Occupant 1 jumped from the boat and swam to the bank along with Occupant 2.  Operator became entangled in the ropes tied to the vessel and was pulled underwater as the vessel sank, but Operator was able to untangle himself and swim to the bank.  
  
  Once on the bank, Operator called friends from the nearby camps to pick them up. Operator stated that he and some of his friends went back to the location on September 6, with two vessels in an effort to recover the vessel.  Operator was unable to recover the vessel, and the vessel remains at the location.  On September 6, at 7:00pm, Subject 1(Operator's father) contacted dispatch regarding the boating incident that occurred on September 5.  After getting into contact with Sgt., Subject 1 did not follow up with the operators' information or accept any Sgt's calls.  
  
  Sgt. then informed me, Agt. 1, of the incident on September 6, in order for me to locate the operator on September 7.  Sgt. 2 and I made contact with Subject 1 on September 7, at 5:00 pm and he recalled the incident and filled out an incident form.  After meeting with Operator, Sgt. 2 and I made contact with the two other passengers to gain their witness statements that supported Operator's recount of the incident.  
  PFDs were not used in this incident.  No injuries were reported.  No drugs or alcohol are suspected.
