V1 was heading into a boat dock when he struck his step brother (victim) who was sitting on the dock in the lower right leg just below the knee cap causing a compound fracture.  

This accident was not immediately reported.  Once we found out, we attempted to interview the Operator and victim. Operator advised he did not know where the accident occurred, just that it was in a cove at a boat dock.  He also advised he did not know who owned V1; just that it was a friend of a friends and that somebody told him he could ride V1, but he didn't know who (their name).  A passing boat carried the victim to Starky's Marina where EMT personnel transported him to Rogers Hospital.  No one at the Marina knew the name of the man in the boat that transported the victim.  EMT personnel and hospital staff refused to give any information concerning the accident (HIPPA). At the time of our interview, the victim was enroute to Oklahoma and the boy's mother advised there would be no more questioning.  However, the operator was cited for Inattentive operation and No Boating Education certificate.
