RedactedNarrative: Operator #1 Stated to the Effect: 
  I was traveling approximately 40 to 45 miles per hour. A 40 foot cabin boat threw a huge wave, so I turned the boat to the starboard side into the wave. The boat went airborne. When it can back down, it slammed into the next wave breaking the bow of the boat. The boat immediately took on water and sank right from under us. At that point, we were floating in the water. 
  
  Investigation revealed: Vessel #1 was traveling north bound on the Delaware River in the City of Burlington, Burlington County, NJ. As Operator #1 was traveling north, a vessel approaching from the opposite direction created a large wake. 
  
  In an attempt to navigate over the wake, Operator #1 turned the vessel to its starboard side. Due to operator #1 traveling at a high rate of speed, the vessel traveled over the wake becoming airborne. The vessel slammed back down on the following wake causing extensive damage to the bow of the vessel. 
  
  The vessel immediately began to take on water and sank. Sgt and Det. were on-scene just after the accident had occurred and rescued Operator #1 and Victim #2 from the water.
  
  Due to the incident, Victim #1 had inhaled water and was coughing profusely. Recognizing Victim #1 was having a medical emergency, Sgt. and Det. immediately contacted NJSP Marine Bureau Communications (10 Comm) for emergency personnel to respond to the Burlington City Municipal Boat Ramp to render medical attention. Operator #1 and Victim #2 were relayed to the boat ramp and were evaluated on-scene by Endeavor EMS. They refused treatment or transportation to the emergency room for further medical attention.
