RedactedNarrative: On May 2, 2020 at approximately 1815 hours; I, Cpl. , overheard Maryland State Police receive a call for individuals in the Potomac River from a boating accident. I responded to the Point of Rocks Boat Ramp where Carroll Manor Fire and Rescue and Jefferson Fire Company were on scene (Run Number F20010735). Carroll Manor Fire and Rescue recovered Operator1, Subject1, and Operator2 from the Potomac River with their three kayaks and were brought to the Point of Rocks Boat Ramp at 1944 hours. 
  
  At that point and time, I took possession of the kayaks as Operator1, Subject1, and Operator2 were transported to Frederick Memorial Hospital by Jefferson Ambulance 209 and Frederick County Ambulance 148. Carroll Manor Fire and Rescue advised me that they were in the open water between Heater's Island and the island below it when the rescue squad saved them. I noted the island below Heater's Island would be Nolands Island. I observed the Potomac River was above the "Danger Zone" paint on the boat ramp with various debris floating in the high water. I noted the Potomac River water level was around 14 feet at the time of the accident. I observed one kayak was a blue Coleman Rebel and two kayaks were Pelican Trailblazer 100 kayaks (one orange and one red). I further observed only two paddles were recovered.  I transferred the items to Sgt. and OFC. while I went to the hospital to meet with the victims. 
  
  I arrived at Frederick Memorial Hospital around 2030 hours. I met with Operator1 first. Operator1 was covered in blankets as Frederick Memorial was treating him for hypothermia. Operator1 stated that he and his sons, Subject1 and Operator2, left Lander Boat Ramp and were planning to float the Potomac River to the Rt 15 bridge boat ramp on the Virginia side of the Potomac River. 
  
  Operator1 advised that we was not sure what time the group started their kayak trip. Operator1 explained how his Coleman Rebel kayak hit a log, which had popped up in the river, causing his kayak to flip approximately 3/4 of a mile from the Lander Boat Ramp. 
  
  Operator1 stated the group tried to look for places between islands and the shore on the Maryland side of the river but were unable to locate a spot to exit the Potomac River. Operator1 further stated that Subject1 and Operator2 fell out of their kayaks while trying to find a place to go on shore. Operator1 stated Subject1 placed Operator2 in one of their kayaks. 
  
  Operator1 explained how he instructed Subject1 to call 911, on a cell phone in their dry bag, when Operator1 saw the Rt. 15 Bridge approximately one mile away. Operator1 further explained how the group drifted until they were rescued. Operator1 stated he tried to yell to a person loading their boat at the Virginia boat ramp under Rt. 15 but the person did not seem to notice them. 
  
  Operator1 stated that Operator2 was wearing a personal flotation device but Operator1 and Subject1 were not. Operator1 advised that they lost one paddle and Subject1 lost a cell phone. Operator1' wife, arrived and went with me to check on her sons. I noted that Operator1 was not in a condition to provide me with a written statement.
  
  Subject1 and Operator2 were in the same hospital room being treated for exposure to the cold water. Subject1, the oldest brother, explained the details of the accident. Subject1 stated that the group launched their kayaks at Lander Boat Ramp at approximately 1645-1700 hours and planned to go to the Rt. 15 boat ramp in Virginia. Subject1 stated that 1/3 of the way to the Rt. 15 boat ramp, in Virginia, Operator1 was swept out of his kayak after hitting an object in the water. 
  
  Subject1 stated he and Operator2 got stuck on a tree causing Operator2 to be washed out of his Pelican Trailblazer 100 kayak. Subject1 further stated that he jumped into the water for Operator2 and placed Operator2 in one of their Pelican Trailblazer 100 kayak. Subject1 explained how he called 911 and the group floated down the river waiting for help. Subject1 estimated that he was in the water for approximately 1 hour while Operator1 was in the water for Approximately 1 hour and 30 minutes before being rescued. Subject1 provided me with a written statement about the incident. Subject1 stated he lost his iPhone X during the accidents. 
  
  I left my business card with Lisa Adams so she could contact me to recover the kayaks and any other items that were left in the kayaks when they were recovered. 
  
  Sgt. Davis and OFC. Chaney transferred the property to me at 2242 hours at the Echo Lake Area Office. During the boat inventory, one US five dollar bill and two US one dollar bills were located in Subject1' wallet. Sgt. Davis and I counted and verified the currency together. I processed the evidence per Natural Resources Police Evidence Guidelines. 
  
  All events occurred in Frederick County, Maryland.
