RedactedNarrative: On 7-22-17 at about 1951 hours deputies responded to the report of a boat accident on the Spokane River. After escorting the damaged vessel to the Quemlin boat launch we contacted  operator who advised us that he had been driving the boat at approximately 15 mph westbound on the Spokane River in the Harbor Island area when it struck a submerged log. The other five people onboard confirmed this account.
  
  We examined the vessel and determined that it had struck an object with its outdrive causing severe damage to the unit. We conducted a safety inspection on the vessel and photographed the damage.
