On 06/21/2013 I made contact with subject in regards to being involved in an accident that took place on 06/16/2013. Subject informed me that the vessel that he was in (Vessel #1) was towing vessel # 2 to ramp.  As vessel #1 began to slow down, the operator, Operator1 realized vessel #2 was about to impact his vessel.  He then instructed Subject to pull in some of the tow rope so it wouldn''t get caught in the propeller.  Operator1 increased throttle and changed direction avoiding a collision. As a result of an increase in throttle and a change of direction the tow line tightened around Subject''s fingers resulting in amputation of the tips of fingers 3 and 4 on his right hand.

As a result of my investigation I determined that alcohol was not a factor in the accident. There are no charges pending. My investigation is complete.
The Owner/Operator of vessel 2 is unknown
