RedactedNarrative: Subject1 and his wife launched their vessel from the Boat Ramp at Joe Wheeler State Park at approximately 4:00pm on 9/23/2022.  They traveled east on the Tennessee River to Lucy''s Branch to eat at the restaurant before returning to the boat ramp.  Subject1 said that his onboard GPS unit was not showing the return track for his vessel.  They went west past the entrance to First Creek, realized their mistake and turned back east to the mouth of First Creek.  
  
  Subject2 was attempting to show him directions provided by her cell phone.  They began their turn into First Creek, but traveled too far east at the mouth and impacted the shoreline rear at about 8:35pm.  The vessel ramped up the shoreline becoming nearly vertical, and they both came out of the vessel and fell into the water.  
  
  The vessel then slid back into the water.  A pontoon boat operated by subject with his wife onboard was in the area and helped.  The Joe Wheeler State Park Ranger responded to the scene by vessel and transported the occupants to the boat ramp.  Lifeguard Ambulance service provided medical treatment to Subject1 and prepared him for transport by LifeFlight helicopter to Huntsville Hospital.  I transported Subject2 to her residence to retrieve her vehicle.  The vessel was loaded on their trailer, but due to the damage to the vessel, she requested a wrecker service called to transport the vessel.  Cox Towing was called and transported the vessel to their lot where it was secured.  There was an open beer can and an open hard cider can in the vessel.  A blood sample was collected by Huntsville Hospital, and a search warrant was obtained to collect that sample.  The sample was transported to Alabama Department of Forensic Sciences Hoover Lab. for analysis.  The results of this analysis will be included as a supplement to this report when they become available.
