RedactedNarrative: Vessel 1 was North on the Big Manistee River, about one mile North of Highbridge access. Vessel 1 hit a log that was about 2 feet out of the water, in the middle of the river. The operator/deceased was fiddling with the motor/gas due to it acting funny and not paying attention to the river/terrain. All occupants fell over board into the river. The three started to swim to shore and when the one injured got about 10 ft from shore he turned to see the deceased rolled over, face down. The other injured got to the deceased and tried to roll him over and he wouldn't. The two injured finally got the deceased to shore and he was not responsive, bleeding from the mouth and it appeared that he got hung up on branches. They preformed CPR for approx. 30 minutes before help arrived. The two injured were treated on the scene then transported to Munson and released.
