RedactedNarrative: On June 14, 2022 I was contacted regarding a vessel accident that occurred on Wilson Lake at the Minooka Middle Boat Ramp on June 11th. I made contact with subject via a cell phone. Subject informed me that his wife had struck a submerged anchor near where the old courtesy dock was at in Minooka Park Middle Ramp. I told Subject I would be working the accident and we would need to set up a time to look at the vessel.  I responded to the area of the accident on June 15th and took a picture of the object that was submerged in the water. At this time the water level had dropped less than a .5' since the time of the accident and an orange buoy had been placed on it. 
  
  I met with Subject and Subject2 on the 19th of June and looked over the boat involved, The vessel had several scratches located on the keel centerline that came from hitting the submerged object. There was also a gouge in the fiberglass that was close to 10 inches in length located on the keel on the port side of the center line. 
  
  Subject2 was operating the vessel at the time of the accident. I asked her what had occurred and she said she was driving the boat in to the area. The courtesy dock was full of people swimming and the beach area was full so she attempted to use the area where the old courtesy dock was located. I told Subject2 since it was a no wake zone and that close to shore her speed probably wasn't much. She agreed and said her speed was probably close to 2 mph. She said she didn't notice the submerged anchor and there was a passenger up front also watching that didn't see it. Subject2 said once contact was made  a passenger jumped in and tried to keep the boat hitting the object anymore. Once I had all the information from the boat, Subject and Subject2 followed me to the accident location.  I verified with Subject2 what she had struck was what I had taken a picture of earlier in the week. Nothing Further to Report
