On 8-10-2013 I was advised by Miami dispatch that a boating accident occurred bayside MM 87. I responded and found a 32' Contender DO1184291 on a boat lift with four subjects, two white males and two white females. One of the females was laying on the stern of the vessel with a laceration to the back of her right leg. One male subject was holding a towel on the wound to stop the bleeding. EMS arrived, secured the victim and transported her to Mariners Hospital were she was treated. 
     I asked the owner/operator what happened and he advised that the victim was swimming around the stern of the vessel, he put the vessel in forward while the victim was swimming toward the vessel. The prop made contact with the right thigh of the victim. 911 was called and they came to the dock.
