RedactedNarrative: Witness #1 stated to the effect:  We had just finished swimming by the rope swing and were back by the car when we heard screaming.  We swam back across the canal and saw that the two females had flipped out of their kayak's and were caught in the spillway.  I ran back to the car to dial 911.  When I returned, the one had stopped screaming and was face down in the water.  We tried to help the younger one but she started to panic and the water was too strong and moving so fast.  A short time later, she was face down in the water as well.  We just saw them earlier right there.  Neither were wearing life jackets.  
   
  Witness #2 stated to the effect:  We just got back to the car because the water was so cold, when we heard screaming from the two ladies we just saw kayaking.  We swam back across the canal and I could see the girl struggling.  The current was really strong, and it looked like she was caught in a vortex.  The other woman was already face down in the water.  I think she hit her head.  I climbed out on the spillway and was trying to help the girl get out.  She just looked stuck and started to panic. Then she was just floating there.  I couldn't get out to her.    
    
  Witness #3 stated to the effect:  We were on my boat traveling north up the river just above Eagle Island, when we saw a body in the water.  At first we thought they were swimming, but then realized it was face down not wearing a life jacket.  We pulled the body on board and began CPR.  We saw a police car on the Pennsylvania side and met him and the paramedics at the rock quarry.  They continued CPR and took her in the ambulance.    
  
  Investigation revealed:  Vessel #1 was traveling north in the Delaware and Raritan Canal in the vicinity of Lockatong Creek, Delaware Township.  At some point, operator #1 attempted to traverse a small spillway connecting the Canal to the Delaware River.  At this time, the kayak became caught in the strong outgoing southbound current of the Lockatong Creek.  Once vessel #1 came in contact with the spillway, the strong current and eddies, capsized the kayak causing the occupant to enter the water.  Upon arrival by the witnesses, victim #1 was observed face down in the water.  Victim #1 was then carried by the swift current down the Delaware River just to the west side of Eagle Island where it was discovered by witness #3.  Victim #1 was then transported by the vessel to a boat ramp at the rock quarry in Solebury Township PA.  Central Bucks County EMS was already on scene and began CPR while transporting victim to Doylestown Hospital where she was pronounced deceased. Victim #1 was positively identified by Hunterdon Prosecutor's Office. 
   
  The kayak was recovered just south of the spillway.  Same was secured by SP Kingwood.  No damage or defects were observed to the Tarpon kayak.  A PFD was observed secured to the inside of the kayak, and a second was observed floating near the spillway.  Victim #1 was observed without a PFD.  Due to recent rainfall, water was at an elevated level.  It was approximately 3.89 feet above normal level, with a flow rate of 17 kcfs.  A second kayak was traveling with victim #1.  See accident V520-2015-00004B, and investigations V520-2015-00002, V520-2015-00003.
