RedactedNarrative: The following boating accident occured on September 8, 2009, at approximately 2130 hours. 
  
  Vessel 1 was headed inbound in a westerly direction on the Piscataqua River, when the operator had his girlfriend take control of the vessel.  She was an inexperienced boater but he had been showing her how to operate the vessel.  The prior operator went to close the door to the bathroom of the vessel.  He was only gone for a few moments, but when he came back out of the cabin, he noticed a cement pillar directly in the path of the vessel.  He turned hard to the port side to avoid a collision with the pillar, but then hit second pillar with the port side of the vessel.  The operator of the vessel was thrown to the floor and sustained lacerations to her face.  The occupant at the rear of the vessel sustained a broken rib, vertebrae, and punctured lung.  The original operator of the boat was aware of the injuries on board and that the vessel was taking on water, so he drove full-throttle to shore where they docked the boat and he drove the two injured parties to the local hospital.
