RedactedNarrative: On 04/30/2016,at approximately 0945am, three individuals were fishing from a small john boat in the Staunton River near the Brookneal Boat Ramp, Campbell County, when they decided to float down river. The operator was sitting in the rear of the vessel, the victim was in the center of the vessel and the third passenger was in the front of the vessel operating the trolling motor. The three were floating down river with the port side facing down river towards the bridge. The third passenger attempted to maneuver the vessel using the trolling motor, but due to the strong current and conditions of the river, he was unable to alter their path of travel. The operator started the gas motor in an attempt to alter their direction of travel, however the vessel had turned and the bow was now facing the pillar and he had no time to react. The starboard corner of the bow struck the bridge pillar, elevating the vessel causing the port side stern to take on water. This caused the vessel to capsize and become pinned against the pillar. The operator was pinned to the vessel by the current and remained with the vessel at the pillar and was recovered a short time later without injury. The other two occupants floated down river, One of the occupants was recovered without injury and the victim has not been recovered.
