V1 was traveling Northeast on Lake Martin in Youngs Basin. V1 ran aground on X-Ray Island and then struck a pine tree before overturning. The operator and two passengers were ejected from the vessel. The operator of V1 stated that they had been fishing since 11:30 P.M. and were heading back to Wind Creek State Park. The operator also stated that while he was operating the vessel, he was watching his GPS device instead of watching what was in front of him. By the time he looked up and saw the island, it was too late.
