RedactedNarrative: According to statements on September 12, 2021 at approximately 0415 hours EST, notification was given to Lt. 1 that a vessel had collided with a narrow shallow water peninsula in the Ramsey Point area on Lake Cumberland in Wayne County, Kentucky.  Vessel 1, a 2016 Epic, model 22SC operated by Operator was later identified to have been involved in the accident. Additional statements suggest that Operator had unmoored from a dock at Camp Earl Wallace and was traveling east to load Vessel 1 on a trailer at the Ramsey Point boat ramp. As Operator gained speed, it was advised, that he was observing the tree line on the lake bank directly in his path and also utilizing his onboard digital map system.

Vessel 1 stuck the peninsula at a perpendicular angle with the bow’s keel striking first.

According to verbal statements taken at the scene by Lt. 1, Operator stated that when the vessel landed on the adjacent side of the peninsula he was ejected from the vessel into the water. Vessel 1 continued on its coarse of motion a notable distance before coming a resting float. Operator observed the vessel in the distance and was able to swim back to the vessel. Once back onboard Vessel 1, Operator beached the vessel on an adjacent swallow water peninsula and notified law enforcement personnel.
  Vessel 1’s engine was operational following the accident however the steering wheel was detached from the vessel's steering column and never located at the accident scene. Vessel 1 was towed by law enforcement personnel from the accident location and trailered at the Ramsey Point boat ramp then taken to Camp Earl Wallace. Photographs were taken at the initial scene by Lt. 1, daylight scene photographs and trailered photographs were taken by myself.
  Operator refused immediate medical treatment at the scene, but may consult with medical professionals at a later time on this date. Operator complaint of a sore left shoulder following impact with the water and had a small visible laceration on this left hand above his ring finger.
