The following boat accident occurred on July 15, 2012.
 
The operator of Vessel I struck up a conversation with two bystanding women and invited them for a ride on his personal watercraft.  The women agreed and boarded; the operator began accelerating and when he took a sharp turn, the occupant on the back of the vessel fell off.  The operator turned around, and the other passenger assisted the injured party.  She drove the victim to the hospital where she was diagnosed with a shoulder sprain, bruised ribs, and a chipped tooth.  The operator became belligerent when the passengers attempted to obtain his registration paperwork and ultimately was charged with Careless and Negligent Operation of boats.
