On Sunday, May 26th, 2013 at around 1900, Operator was operating his vessel in Big Hurricane Creek on Tim''s Ford Lake near Awalt Bridge.  Operator was towing his Stepdaughter and subject2 on a tube.  They were headed southeast away from Awalt Bridge when the girls on the tube signaled for Operator to stop.  Operator stopped the vessel and the tube drifted near the stern. When Operator tried to go forward again the vessel started going in reverse. Operator then shifted to neutral but the vessel continued in reverse.  Operator then cut the engine off.  When the vessel was in reverse the two girls jumped off of the tube to get out of the vessels path.  Stepdaughter was able to get clear but victim got her left leg against the stern in the swim ladder and her right leg was cut near the shin by the prop before it stopped spinning.  Operator jumped in to help victim and subject helped lift Victim into the vessel. Operator was still unable to get the vessel to shift out of reverse so they flagged down another boat to tow them in.  Officers were the first to make contact with the vessels'' as they were about to enter the No Wake Zone at Holiday Marina.  After making it to the dock at Holiday Marina, Victim was taken by ambulance to Harton Hospital in Tullahoma, Tn where she was treated and released. Victim recieved 11 stitches to two cuts on her leg. Officer confirmed that the vessel was indeed stuck in reverse and Officers assisted Operator in loading his vessel onto its trailer.
