  At approximately 1558 hours Trooper and I were detailed to a submerged vessel accident with people in the water at Greenwood Lake, West Milford, NJ.  Upon arrival, the under signed ob served West Milford Police, West Milford Fire and West Milford EMS units on scene assisting.  The first patrolman on scene, Officer advised the 8 occupants on board were treated and releasedith no injuries by West Milford FAS  and Greenwood Lake FAS.
  
  The undersigned also spoke USCGA officer, who advised her unit responded and assisted the victims out of the water.  While at the scene, the undersigned observed the vessel submerged inside the travel lift as the marina employees attempted to raise the vessel out of the water.  The undersigned spoke with the occupants of the vessel and they stated the following;
  
  Operator #1 stated in effect:  We were going about 5 mph and we stopped just before the no wake buoy.  The bow of the boat went down and then a wake from another vessel just swamped our boat and sank it. We all ended up in the water and was helped by another boat.
  
  Investigation Revealed:  Vessel #1 was traveling in a northern direction 200 yards off Greenwood Lake in close proximity to the " NO WAKE" buoy. Operator #1 slowed down to idle speed causing the bow of the vessel to dip down to the water line. At roughly the same time a wake from a unknown vessel consumed vessel #1 causing it to sink with the occupants of the vessel inside. All the occupants were subsequently rescued by the USCGA vessel and relayed to Greenwood Lake Marina for evaluation.  All 8 occupants of the vessel were evaluated by West Milford FAS and refused medical treatment with no injuries.
  
  I spoke with the owner of the vessel, who was on scene. I asked if he had insurance on the vessel, he advised"no" . I explained that he was responsible for the recovery of the vessel and any petroleum spillage or clean up as a result of the vessel Sinking.
