RedactedNarrative: On 8/13/2020 at or around 1400 I responded to a single boat accident on Douglas Lake in the Muddy Creek area. Operator1 was operating his 2010 23''6" Premier Pontoon boat (TN 1605EA) in Muddy Creek, upstream from Moonhill Bridge. Occupant was attempting to place their pet dog in Operator's lap. Operator left the boat in gear and continued to travel up muddy creek during this. Occupant estimated that he was doing about 20mph. He turned to his left and put his feet on the cooler beside of him while his wife attempted to place the dog in his lap. 
  
  At some point the vessel turned left and impacted the rock shoreline while both occupants were distracted. The accident occurred about 10 yards downstream and to the left of Monnhill Bridge. 
  
  Operator impacted the steering wheel with the right side of his body. Occupant was thrown forward through a door and into the floor. Operator broke two ribs on his right side from the impact with the steering wheel. Occupant fractured five vertebrae, broke her right shoulder, and broke a rib on her right side. Both where taken to UT Medical Center and released after a few days.
  
  The boat had a fist sized puncture into the inside of right pontoon. The deck was also bent upwards and damaged above the right pontoon. Operator's impact of the steering wheel also caused it to be concaved backwards.
