The following boating accident occurred on September 6, 2009 at approximately 1630 hours.

The operator of vessel 1 was traveling at approximately 25 miles per hour when he struck the wake from another boat.  A passenger sitting in the open bow on the port side was bounced into the air and landed in the boat, hitting his back on the edge of the fiberglass seat.  The operator drove back to his home and the injured party climbed out onto the dock and was unable to move any further.  An ambulance transported him to a local hospital, where he was diagnosed with three broken ribs,  a thoracic spine sprain, and contusions inside the chest cavity.
