V1 AND OCCUPANTS WERE DRIFTING DOWN THE RIVER FISHING WHEN THE CURRENT PUSHED V1 INTO THE ANCHOR CABLES OF THE WILDCAT SHOALS BOAT DOCK. 

V1 TURNED SIDEWAYS AGAINST THE DOCK AND THE CURRENT IMMEDIATELY PULLED THE SIDE OF V1 UNDER THE WATER AND BEGAN CAPSIZING V1. 

THE OPERATOR AND PASSENGERS 2 AND 3 WERE ABLE TO GRAB ONTO THE DOCK AND HOLD ON WHILE PASSENGER 4 WAS SWEPT UNDER THE WATER AND DOCK BUT CAME OUT ON THE OTHER SIDE. HE WAS PICKED UP DOWN RIVER BY ANOTHER FISHERMAN AND BROUGHT BACK TO THE DOCK. NONE OF THE OCCUPANTS HAD ANY INJURIES; THEY WERE JUST COLD AND WET.  V1 WAS COMPLETELY SUBMERGED UNDER THE DOCK AND THE MOTOR WAS TORN LOOSE FROM THE STERN. V1 HAS SINCE BEEN RECOVERED BUT WAS CRACKED IN THE MIDDLE ALL THE WAY ACROSS FROM PORT TO STARBOARD.  THE MOTOR HAS STILL NOT BEEN RECOVERED.  RIVER FLOW AT THE TIME WAS VERY STRONG DUE TO ALL THE GATES AND GENERATORS OPEN AND RUNNING DURING THE TIME OF THE ACCIDENT.
