On 6/7/09 a 14ft jon boat  was traveling downstream on the Kankakee River near Momence east side boat ramp.  A passenger was kneeling on the bows deck.  The operator turned the boat left and the occupant went overboard on the starboard side of the boat.  The victim was then hit by the propellor of the boat, which cut into his left leg above the knee, breaking his femur.  He was taken to Riverside Hospital in Kankakee then transferred to Loyola University Medical Center.
