RedactedNarrative: The following boating accident occurred on September 3, 2009, at approximately 1300 hours. 
  
  The operator of vessel 1 was headed in a Southeasterly direction on the Piscataqua River when a large vessel passed by.  It seems that the wake of this vessel may have caught the transom of vessel 1.  Somehow the operator of the vessel was thrown overboard and was submerged until his Type V PFD inflated and brought him to the surface.   The operator's t-shirt became entangled in the propeller and he suffered abrasions to his back.  At this time, the NH Marine Patrol arrived and detangled the injured party from the propeller and escorted him to shore, where the local fire department was waiting to transport to the hospital.  The injured party is epileptic and considers that he may have a seizure which could have caused his fall overboard.
