RedactedNarrative: On the evening of June 24, 2017 around 19:30 CST, a boat accident occurred at Nolin Lake, on the lower end just upriver from the dam.  Edmonson County dispatch was notified of the accident shortly after it happened and dispatched EMS and ECSO Deputy.  By the time EMS Director made it to the scene, the victims had been assisted by bystanders and had been rescued from the water.  The only vessel involved was a 21' Nautique 210 which was being operated by Operator with 11 passengers, for a total of 12 occupants.  
  Despite capsizing and ejecting the passengers, no one was seriously injured and further EMS action was called off.  Two occupants sustained superficial cuts that were treated with basic first aid. 
  A witness in the area that night claims that Operator's vessel was operating at a high rate of speed and performing repeated sharp turns, driving back and forth on the lake, which was corroborated by Operator.  
  According to statements, the vessel made a sharp right turn, and for an unexplained reason capsized.  Operator was not wearing his engine kill switch and the prop kept turning for a short time even after capsizing.  Some good Samaritans in the area assisted those in the water by getting them to a nearby dock and towing the capsized boat to the dock to be tied off.  A few people in the area made mention of a large log floating in the area early that day, but no damage was observed on the hull of the vessel.  This lack of impact damage to the hull and tracking fins indicates that a collision with an underwater object was likely not to blame.  
  A more likely cause is the high rate of speed combined with sharp turns, and a vessel loaded beyond it's maximum weight capacity.  The maximum number of occupants allowed is 10, but interviews with the passengers, witnesses, and the operator indicate that the vessel was loaded with 12 occupants when the accident occurred.  Although a precise speed is difficult to determine, a witness stated that Operator made a comment after the accident that they were traveling around 70 mph.  
  Operator has had the following boater education courses:  Annapolis Sailing School, Water Ski School 1987, and Ocean Incentives 1990.
