RedactedNarrative: On July 2, 2018, I was on patrol at Buck Creek State Park. I was dispatched to a suspicious watercraft that was in the Mad River at approximately 18:29 hours. ODNR had received the call at approximately 11:37 hours. The call was a kayak was caught up in the river on a downed tree.
  I had dispatch contact Fairborn PD and asked if they had received a call about the kayak. Greene County SO (2018-18186) and Fairborn FD (2018-3553) had responded to the kayak at approximately 11:37 hours and contacted the owner of kayak.  The fire department decided it was too dangerous to retrieve the kayak.
  I contacted the owner he was kayaking with his wife and some friends on Saturday June 30th. He said they put in the water at approximately 1PM and crashed his kayak at approximately 5PM on the Mad River just upriver of Medway Road. He said there was a set of rapids and a kind of a bend in the river. He was going down the rapids and he went sideways and tipped and fell out of the kayak. He said the current took his kayak into some tree debris on the left side of the river and it was deep. He said he went with the kayak and was pinned against the kayak and the tree. He was able to get on top of the log. He said the log was 12 inches in diameter and most of it was under water. He said the kayak went parallel with the tree and collapsed and bent in half and got stuck to the tree. He said he attempted to free the kayak but could not. He said he crawled up an embankment and walked along the bank because the current was so strong. He returned to his group and he called an uber and went and retrieved his truck. He said his wife also fell out of her kayak around the same time he did, but she was able to grab he kayak and make it to shore. She was uninjured and her kayak suffered no damage. He said he was wearing a type 3 life jacket. 
  He said he suffered bruises and he's still shook up. He said he contacted Fairborn PD to advise them what happen and notify them of the kayak in the river when he returned home on Saturday. He said the fire department contacted him today and told him the kayak is a total loss and it's too dangerous to retrieve. He said he already returned his wife's kayak to Costco and he doesn't think he'll be doing anymore kayaking.
