RedactedNarrative: On Wednesday, June 1, 2022, around 0815, I, Trooper, received a call of a boat accident Near Patton Island Bridge. I responded to McFarland Park.
  
  The boat that was involved in the accident was secured to the bank by Florence Police. The boat was a 1968 StarCraft. The owner of the boat had been transported to North Alabama Medical Center (NAMC) by Shoals Ambulance. The passenger was deceased upon arrival. Deceased passenger was brought in by Florence Fire and owner was brought in by another boat. I traveled to NAMC and spoke with the owner who said that they were fishing above Patton Island Bridge and were both seated. 
  
  The current pushed the boat into the bridge pylons before they realized they were close to the bridge. Owner said the port side of the boat hit the pylon causing the port to rise against the pylon and the starboard to go underwater due to the current. 
  
  Owner said that they were both thrown out of the boat. Owner said that he was able to swim back to the boat and get on top of the boat which was now upside down. Owner said he saw a PFD nearby and threw it to the passenger but the PFD went over the passenger's head. He then observed that the passenger was unconscious. 
  
  Owner said that his passenger was still floating and the owner tied a rope around the passengers arm to keep him close to the boat. Owner stated that another boat approached and started to tow their boat. Owner was put onto a second boat in the area and brought back to shore.
  
  The Lauderdale County Coroner arrived and the passenger was pronounced deceased. Deceased was then transported to the Lauderdale County cooler until the family decided where he would go. 
  
  The boat was flipped back over with the assistance of Florence Police. Owner's boat was put back on his trailer by Lt. and I with the assistance of Simpson's wrecker.
  
  Nothing further to report at this time.
