Operator was operating the rented pontoon boat.  They were headed back towards Tim''s Ford Marina to return the boat by 6pm.  They were near Awalt Bridge, Victim was standing up at the bow inside of the railing and when the boat hit a wake from some jet ski''s nearby Victim fell forward off of the boat.  Victim went under the boat and was struck by the  propeller before Operator could stop the boat.  Victim''s hair and swimsuit were stuck in the prop.  The 3 Male Passengers jumped into the water and had to pull her hair out of the propeller leaving some of her swimsuit in the  propeller.  After getting Victim back into the boat they went back to Tim''s Ford Marina.  When they returned to Tim''s Ford Marina they took Victim to one of their vehicles and Operator turned the keys in and told the Marina workers that there was part of her friends bikini stuck in the propeller and asked if it would cost them any more.  They then left and went to Victim''s residence.  Then they started towards Fayetteville to the Hospital.  They were stopped by a State Trooper and he called an ambulance for Victim.  I was called by Lincoln Medical Center once Victim was admitted.  I then went and interviewed Victim.  Officer and I were able to make contact with Operator and around 23:30 and get statements from them.  Victim was treated and released from the hospital the next day.
