Vessel 1 was operating at a slow speed as it was traveling northeast into the dock at the Hennepin Boat Ramp, which is located at the east bank of the Illinois River at Hennepin.  Injured Occupant 1 was sitting at the front right of the vessel and attempted to stop the vessel as it approached the dock.  Injured Occupant 1 got his hand caught between Vessel 1 and the dock and subsequently had his hand smashed.  The thumb of his right hand was injured and was severely bleeding.  The reporting officer was on scene when the accident occurred and he saw nothing that indicated the operator was neglectful in any way.  The Putnam County EMS came to the scene and transported Injured Occupant 1 to St Margaret's Hospital in Spring Valley.  

Operator 1 had consumed alcohol, however, it was determined he was not under the influence of alcohol.
