Myself and partner witnessed the accident. I called 911 and talked to the dispatcher. It was an awful accident that is on my mind and the minds of others who were there and assisted in this horrific event.My heart and prayers goes out to the families affected by this incident. The outcome as bad as it was could of been worse if not for the assistance of fellow fisherman and kind hearted people that put theirselves in harms way to assist until the proper emergency personel arrived. It was an accident that could of happened on any lake any time. I do not want to get into great detail about the accident since it is currently under investigation and that I have not yet rendered a statement or have been contacted by the authorites since we left the lake. I was told I would be contacted if they needed anymore information. I will say what happened involved 1 boat and that 2 men were thrown from it. The boat seemed to come up on its side real fast. Not sure if it hit something or caught a boat wake wrong. It happened between cave creek and laurel branch. This is basic information just to let everyone know what Myself and friend saw.I do not think it would be fair to the families or friends of the individuals that were affected for me to get into anymore detail without their permisson. My prayers and thoughts through this tough time are with you.
