VESSEL 1 WAS TRAVELING SOUTH IN THE MAIN BAY OF LAKE PLEASANT FROM HUMBUG COVE. THE OPERATOR OF V1 WHO WAS LATER ID AS operator SAID THAT HE COULD NOT SEE DUE TO THE FACT THAT IT WAS DARK OUT AND VISABILITY WAS POOR. HE SAID THAT V1 HIT THE SHORELINE AT SOUTH BARKER ISLAND AND V1 SUSTAINED EXTENSIVE DAMAGE IN THE BOW AREA OF THE WATERCRAFT. HE SAID HE HAD BEEN DRINKING MILLER LIGHT BEER AND HAD APPROX. 6 BEERS BEFORE THE ACCIDENT. HE SUSTAINED A 2-3 INCH LACERATION ABOVE HIS RIGHT EYE AND WAS LATER TRASNPORTED TO ARROWHEAD HOSPITAL AND THEN TO JOHN C LINCOLN NORTH MOUNTAIN HOSPITAL BY PMC AMBULANCE FOR SURGERY TO HIS HEAD. THE 5 OTHER PASSENGERS WERE LATER RELEASED FROM THE SCENE AND REFUSED MEDICAL TREATMENT (NOTHING BEYOND FIRST AID). THERE IS NOTHING FURTHER AT THIS TIME.
