RedactedNarrative: On 0/7/06/16, at approximately 10:30 AM, I, CPO received a call from ISP dispatch about a boat accident that occurred at the Dam East boat launch at Carlyle Lake.  
  
  ISP dispatch informed me to call Park Ranger for further details.  I contacted Ranger and he informed me that a boat at the Dam East launch got swamped while trying to load during the storm at approximately 8:00 AM this morning.  
  
  Ranger informed me that there were no injuries and the boat was attached to the trailer by the trailer rope.  Ranger informed me that the entire stern of the boat was under water.  I arrived at the boat launch at approximately 11:00 AM.  
  
  When I arrived, the owner of the boat had the boat a black 20ft'' AAW Weld craft with Il registration: IL4213KT and (HIN#:ADH00310F515) on his trailer draining the water out of the hull. I asked Owner if he would provide me with a written statement of what happened and he said he would (see attached statement).  
  
  Owner informed me that he and his wife were trying to load the boat onto the trailer when the storm hit and the wind picked up rapidly.  Owner went onto inform me that the waves were at least 5'' tall coming in and were coming over the motor and making the boat crash into the trailer and dock.  Owner informed me that when his boat started to sink, he and his wife got out of the boat and he was able to secure the bow of the boat with the rope from the trailer. 
  
   Owner went onto inform me that he was later able to pull the boat out after the storm had passed to engage his bilge pump to drain the boat.  Owner then showed me the damage that occurred from the accident and I took photographs of the damage (see attached photos).  There were scratches to the starboard side near the stern and dents along the starboard side; the scag on the motor was also damaged.  There was also damage to Owner''s boat trailer.  The passenger side fender was bent and the brake light was broken.
