RedactedNarrative: On Saturday, August 30, 2014, Operator was driving a pontoon on Watts Bar Lake when he drove into a Red Navigation buoy. Operator claimed that one of the passengers on board got up to get a drink, which blocked his view, and shortly afterwards he drove into the buoy. At first, they thought no damage was done but when they stopped to swim a few minutes later they heard a noise under the vessel and it was here they noticed a hole in the right pontoon, so they loaded up to head back to Blue Springs Marina, but along they way 2 TWRA Wildlife Officers noticed the vessel in an awkward position and investigated the situation and told them to go to Caney Creek Access Area due to unsafe operation. Everyone made it to the ramp safely and Blue Springs Marina personel came and trailered the vessel. This all occured in Roane County on Watts Bar Lake.
