RedactedNarrative: Vessel – 1998, 20’ Mastercraft BST Open Motorboat w/1 Sterndrive Engine – Manufacturer/HP Unknown
  
  On 07/19/2020, at about 09:41 p.m., this vessel was cruising/changing direction on Lake Washington near the Magnuson Park Swim Platform, located near Seattle WA in King county.
  
  According to Law Enforcement, Officers, both on land and Harbor Units, were dispatched to a vessel collision at this location. The call stated, “OFF OF THE BEACH...BOAT INTO THE LITTLE PLATFORM…SOMEONE FLEW OFF THE BOAT.”  As Officers were driving to the call, they were informed that all occupants of the boat were now out of the water.
  
  While Officers were headed to the scene, they called the witness.  Witness told Officers that he witnessed a boat drive into the concrete swim platform near the Magnuson Boat Ramp.  He said the boat was traveling at a high rate of speed and it took a sharp left turn into the swim platform.  He said he responded to the collision in his boat to see if everyone in the boat was OK.
  
  Witness said that the operator of the boat had spit out some teeth before he jumped into the water and started swimming to shore.  He said that one of the passengers then jumped into the water and swam to shore as well.  Witness attempted to start the boat to return it to the ramp, but it would not start.  He was stranded on the boat at the swim platform with four other passengers.
  
  When Officers arrived at the scene, they contacted Witness and the 4 passengers on the swim platform with the boat.  They tied the boat up to the swim platform and transported all persons to the boat ramp where Seattle Fire was requested.  Seattle Fire responded back to the scene to treat the passengers.  
  
  The operator of the boat had already been seen by Seattle Fire and was transported to University of Washington Hospital.  He was said to have missing teeth.  Officers stood by as all passengers of the boat waited for their Ubers to pick them up.  All the passengers stated that Operator was attempting to drop them off at the boat ramp when they collided into the swim platform.  They thought Operator was driving approximately 30 mph.  
  
  The boat was taking on water, so a pump was put into the boat to keep if from sinking.  There were several empty bottles of alcohol in the boat.  There were three teeth on the driver’s seat.  It was hard to see the boat damage as it was at the water line at the bow of the boat.  Land Officers responded to the hospital to advise Operator where his boat was and how to retrieve it.  Officers stated that Operator was unable to speak with them as he had lost several teeth.
