RedactedNarrative: On april 6, 2019, operator1 launched his 14' jon boat on the yadkin river.  Operator1 was the operator and he was accompanied by two people.  The group traveled up the river to a spot about 40 yards below idol's dam. They used a bow rope to tie to a tree that extended out from the forsyth county bank of the river.  
  
  The group then proceeded to fish.  As the group was preparing to depart, subject1 pulled the boat by the bow rope back to the tree.  During this time, operator1 cranked the outboard motor.  Subject1 untied the rope, then operator1 began to back away.  Moments after the boat was untied, the motor went dead and could not be restarted.  The current produced by the low head dam and the topography of the river caused the drifting boat to be pulled towards the cascading waters of the dam.  As the boat approached the dam, it turned sideways, then filled with water as it was pulled into the overflow of the dam.  The boat filled with water then capsized sending everyone into the river.  Subject1 was caught in the back-roll of the dam while the other two narrowly escaped and was picked up by nearby boaters.  Subject1 inhaled a significant amount of water and suffered numerous scrapes and bruising all about his body. Because of subject1's injuries, he was taken to baptist hospital where he was admitted for observation.
