RedactedNarrative: On June 3, 2017, I received a phone call of a boating accident at 11:50am.  I responded to the boating scene with Sergeant at approximately 1:20 pm.  The vessel was fully submerged and was tied to a buoy by Elizabeth City Fire Department.  I tied the buoy to my patrol boat and waited for the owner to return.  The owner tied to the boat and dragged it to the shore where it was trailered.  
  
  The boating accident occurred at approximately 11:45 am.  The vessel was traveling north bound on the Pasquotank River near the number 9 day marker.  The driver was 16 year old accompanied by his father.  
  
  The boat is a two seater speed boat with the motor mounted as an inboard at the rear of the boat.  The boat was traveling at a speed above 45 mph when the son tried an evasive manuever that was suppose to result in a sharp turn that went wrong.  The boat grabbed the water and the driver released the wheel causing it to lock down to the left and cause the boat to begin to flip.  The vessel overturned several times where the occupants were ejected. The vessel came to rest on top of the passenger who was able to swim to safety.  The driver of the vessel was wearing a PFD and was ejected out of the path of the vessel.   Neither driver nor passenger were injured in the boating incident.  A neighboring vessel saw the incident and rescued the occupants from the water where EMS and Fire personnel were called.  Weather conditions were clear and sunny, 91 degrees.
