RedactedNarrative: On wednesday june 17th 2020 at approximately 6:16 p.m., subject received a report of a boat incident from sgt.. The incident occurred on lake gaston in songbird creek. It involved a pontoon boat proceeding north under the bridge of ebony rd. There were five people involved, one vessel, resulting in property damage only with no injuries. 
  
  At approximately 5:30 p.m. on wednesday june 17th 2020, operator was operating his pontoon boat on lake gaston. The weather was rainy, the water was rough, and there was a strong current under the bridge. Air temperature was 76 degrees fahrenheit, and the water temperature was 70 degrees fahrenheit. Wind was moderate, and the visibility was fair. 
  
  Operator was returning home due to weather conditions. He was attempting to go north through the culvert bridge of ebony rd, upstream into songbird creek. Due to heavy rain fall and a large amount of runoff, the current flowing from songbird creek into the main body of lake gaston was very strong. Operator was able to make it to the other side, however at this point the current overcame his vessel''s maneuvering capabilities. The vessel''s bow was pulled strongly to the port side and collided with the bridge wall on the west side. Operator attempted to reverse his position with full throttle, but the current was too strong, and his vessel remained pinned against the bridge pylon. 
  
  A good samaritan stopped on the highway and offered assistance. He helped operator safely assist all his passengers to the shore. They were also able to unload some of his fishing equipment. At this point, they were able to attach a rope to the front starboard cleat. They attempted to pull the bow of the vessel away from the bridge while simultaneously using the throttle to move the vessel. The starboard side of the vessel began to take on water and operator, in fear for his life, jumped into the water. The vessel continued to rotate downward towards the bottom, a full 90 degrees, until the hull was crumpled around the middle pylon of the bridge. 
  
  I arrived at the scene at approximately 7:25 p.m. the vessel was turned over on its starboard side, partially submerged, bent around the center pylon, and pinned under the bridge by extreme water current. All occupants of the vessel were on land with no injuries. The operator of the vessel was standing by on scene with sea tow waiting for my arrival to talk about removal of the vessel. Sea tow instructed everyone that no action could be taken until the water current subsided enough to safely move the vessel. At this point i asked the operator to fill out the information on the 4.1 form and interviewed the operator along with a passenger on the vessel.
  
  On thursday june 18, 2020, at approximately 1:30pm, sea tow arrived back on scene to remove the vessel from the water.  Its position remained unchanged from the previous day.  The current had subsided, and it was now safe to work in and around the water.  Buddy isles tire and automotive provided the wrecker used to extract the wreckage from the water.
