RedactedNarrative: This report documents the events occuring at Fort Sheridan on July 16, 2010.  A more in depth Supplemental will follow.
  
  On Friday, July 16, 2010 at approximately 10:04 PM Operator was driving his 1993 23' Caravelle Interceptor (Vessel 1) southbound on Lake Michigan near the town of Fort Sheridan.  Vessel 1 was traveling between 20 and 30 miles per hour when it struck a rock outcropping near the beach, just north of a metal breakwall extending into the water approximately 29 yards.  The hull and torpedo struck the rock pile causing the lower unit of Vessel 1 to turn, thus causing it to turn towards Starboard.  As a result of the impact with Vessel 1's torpedo, the shift shaft was broken disabling the prop.  Vessel 1's Starboard bow struck the end of the breakwall 28 inches aft of it's bow causing a 42 inch long by 21 inch wide gash that broke through the hull and intruded into the cuddy cabin.  Due to the speed of the boat at impact, Vessel 1's stern continued in a South direction causing the gash to widen before disengaging from the wall and coming to rest South of the breakwall (See attached diagram).  A passenger jumped out and walked toward the shore with Vessel 1 in tow.   
  
  Vessel 1's operator (Operator) struck the operator's console on the Starboard side with the right side of his face and chest, causing a broken nose and broken rib, along with lacerations on his nose and face near the eyes.  A passenger in the front seat struck the console in front of the passenger seat on the port side, she recieved two collapsed lungs, numerous broken ribs, and a broken neck in her C-2 Vertibrae.  The third passenger was seated behind the driver on the Starboard side.  This occupant impacted the rear of the driver's seat causing it to detatch from the deck, and sustained a bruised arm, cheek, thigh, neck wrist, and rib cage on her right side.  Ernie's towing arrived on scene at approximately 3:22 AM and loaded Vessel 1 on a flat bed truck.  Operator and the third occupant were admitted to hospital and released.  Operator received stitches to his nose.  occupant2 is still in the hospital being treated for her injuries.
