RedactedNarrative: On 04/19/2016 at approximately 00:23 hrs, I, RFC received a call from GSP Gainesville Dispatch regarding a possible boating incident on Lake Lanier near Clarks Bridge.  Dispatch stated that a subject was in the water, holding on to a vessel, and calling for help. I called Hall County Dispatch to ascertain further information.  Hall County Dispatched advised that the subject was out of the water and being transported to Northeast Georgia Medical Center for treatment.  I called the hospital and spoke to the Charge Nurse and Subject to verify he was okay and to determine if he could have been impaired.  In addition, I obtained a brief statement from Subject.
  
  On 04/27/2016, I was able to make telephone contact with an elderly subject from DeKalb County.  Subject stated that on 04/18/2016 he and a friend were fishing on Lake Lanier.  They were done fishing and Subject dropped off Friend at the boat ramp.  Friend backed the trailer into the water.  Subject attempted to load the pontoon boat onto the trailer.  Once he was close, he cut the motor and moved to the front of the vessel while it was coasting in towards the trailer.  One of the pontoons encountered part of the rear of the trailer that was underwater, causing the trailer suddenly to stop.  
  
  Subject lost his balance and fell overboard from the bow.  He grabbed onto the side of the vessel.  He could not swim and he could not touch the bottom. The vessel was still too far out into the water for Friend to assist, so he went up to Clarks Bridge Rd and managed to get a passerby to call 911.  Hall County Emergency Services arrived on the scene and managed to get him to shore.  He was transported to Northeast Georgia Medical Center for observation for hypothermia.  Subject was released from the hospital on 04/29/2016 at 03:00 hrs.
  
  No further details and incident closed at this time.
