RedactedNarrative: On August 8th 2020 at approximately 1050hrs Officer 1 was notified by Hamilton County 911 of a boat accident with injuries in the Harrison Bay area. An on scene deputy advised me that they would be coming into the Island Cove Marine. Upon arriving on scene I was advised of the driver who was already in a Hamilton County ambulance that was departing for Erlanger hospital in Chattanooga. The driver was identified as a Operator and I had notified Wildlife Officer 2 who was responding to Operator to interview the driver after he was emitted. There was another Hamilton County ambulance on scene that was holding one of the passengers on board and she was identified as Victim 1. 
  
  Victim 1 advised that there were four people on board the vessel and that she was thrown overboard the vessel but did not know what they had hit. Once Dallas Bay Fire Department was able to tow the vessel to the Island Cove Marine Dock and marina employees were able to extract the vessel from the water it was apparent that the outboard motor of the 1986 Bullet Bass Boat had fallen off. 
  
  Once a closer look of the vessel was able to take place it was noticed that transom of the vessel had sustained rot in the wood over the years causing the motor to fall off. There was also heavy damage to the console where Operator, was seated. 
  
  Operator had suffered a severe laceration to his right lower leg and once he was able to be interviewed he stated that they vessel was traveling in the eastern bank of Harrison Bay on Chickamauga Lake at what he thought to be around 50 miles per hour when he heard a loud crack. Immediately after he hear the crack he stated that to vessel came to a stop, the helm had collapsed onto his legs and the motor had fallen from the vessel being held on by only the steering cables. 
  
  With the statement of Operator and the evidence of the damage from the vessel it was determined that after the vessels transom had failed and once the motor had fallen from the vessel the steering cables stayed attached to both the motor and the console which caused the console to be forced onto the operator''s legs which is where an object impaled Operator's right leg. 
  
  The speed calculations were also verified with a GPS unit that was found onboard the vessel after the accident. Operator gave consent for the GPS unit to have a forensic analysis done to it. There were also two other parties on board the vessel that were uninjured. The Incident occurred in Hamilton County.
