RedactedNarrative: On 10/19/2022 Officers responded to an area below the Nickajack Dam in Marion County for a 911 call that came in stating a man and child fell out of a boat while fishing and are stranded on the bank. Once officers arrived on scene and found the two stranded parties, first aid was rendered to aid the two parties in severe hypothermia. Once the two parties were taken back to shore, Medical Technicians began treating the two parties. The two parties were then taken to Erlanger Hospital in Chattanooga. Officers learned after speaking with the operator of the vessel that while they were trolling their vessel fishing for catfish both parties were in the process of reeling in fish. As the parties were reeling in fish one of the occupants knocked into the motor and sped it up. The sudden and unexpected change in speed ejected both parties into the water. The vessel then proceeded to drive away, unoccupied and crashed into the bank. Both parties then swam to the bank where they were able to get a phone call out to 911 and wait for help.
