RedactedNarrative: Operator and his nephew had been listening to music at Broken Oar Bar and Grill. They left on Operator's boat when the music was over. Operator stated he had not been drinking but his nephew was as a passenger. He explained that navigation was difficult due to dark conditions on the water and while underway they unexpectedly came across another boat (without lights) on the river. An abrupt steering maneuver caused their boat to go off-course, strike the pier and exited the water completely. Operator had a laceration to arm and sore ribs. The occupant was uninjured and they both left the scene. A person walking the preserve in the morning found the boat and contacted the Lake County Forest Preserve Police
