  On the above listed date, Troopers at the Atlantic City Marine barracks were made aware of a vessel accident that reportedly took place on May 29, 2022. The vessel accident was reported from a third party source and not the vessel owner, passenger or witness. 
  
  Operator of Vessel #1 stated the following: "Driving in the Ocean left Corson Inlet. Heading North about 1.5 miles out into the ocean felt a bump. Boat took a hard left. As we stopped the boat. We put our life jackets on and the boat began to sink. We jumped off the boat. Two boats came to our rescue." Due to the fact that Troopers were not contacted until days after, no on scene investigation was able to be conducted and an exact location of the incident and cause of the vessel damage is unknown. It should be noted that Operator stated that the incident occurred approximately 1.5 miles off shore in the Ocean City section of Cape May County. For an unknown reason vessel #1 started to take on water from the stern of the vessel. All occupants of Vessel #1 reportedly evacuated the sinking vessel, and were picked up by an unknown vessel. No injuries were reported at the time of the report. No witnesses have been identified and there is no identifying information for any assisting vessels. Operator's statement was unable to be corroborated.
  
  On June 7, 2022 I responded to the Off Shore Performance located at 1716 Somers Point Road, Egg Harbor Township, where vessel #1 had been towed to. I was able to observe the vessel which had sustained significant damage to the stern portion of the hull, including water damage to all four engines from partial sinking. No other damage was observed to the vessel at this time. It is unknown if Vessel #1 struck a submerged object or if Vessel #1 had a defect to hull that had a failure during reported high speeds.
  
  On June 24, 2022, Operator explained that he was not going to provide any further information regarding the incident.
