On 5/29/23 at approximately 1830 hours, CPL received a call from dispatch that there was a boat that was sinking at the community docks at Del Webb.  CPL arrived on scene at approximately 1900 hours.    They were in the process of pumping out their boat and putting it back on their boat trailer at the ramp next to the docks.  Operator said that he had just bought the boat and that it was not insured.

Once they had their boat loaded, CPL took pictures of the vessel which are attached to this report.  GW spoke with Operator via telephone and said the incident occured under highway 20 bridge. Operator said he saw the hazard buoy stayed to the left but still went through the standing timber causing the impact to the vessel.  He said that he was towed to the docks by a bystander.

All video recordings and photographs of this incident are located on the department's Visual Labs system.
