RedactedNarrative: On 6/13/20 Operator 1 was out on his vessel with three other of his friends. The vessel was launched from Fall Creek Boat Ramp. While they were traveling around the lake, Operator 1 gave the motor throttled and heard a loud pop. 
  
  When they looked around to see what had happened they noticed the transom of the vessel had broken. It was at this time the vessel starting taking on water. They were able to use the trolling motor to guide the boat to the nearest shore. They pulled the boat up and secured it to some trees on land. Around 1230 p.m. 911 was notified. There were no injuries reported. Sgt. and I arrived on scene around 1315. We loaded up two of the occupants and their belongings onto our boat, and transported them back to Fall Creek Boat Ramp. The other two occupants were transported by Rutherford County Rescue on their vessel. All occupants made it back to the boat ramp with no other issues.
