RedactedNarrative: On June 4, 2022 at approximately 1735 hours, I, officer, received a call from Colorado State Patrol Dispatch for an individual that needed medical assistance at the North marina, Lake Pueblo State Park, Pueblo County, Pueblo, Colorado.
  
  I arrived on scene, at the north marina, at approximately 1739 hours. Once on scene, I located the individual in need of medical assistance, later identified as Passenger who was conscious and breathing. Passenger was being assisted down the dock of the marina towards the parking lot by a Colorado parks and Wildlife (CPW) employee and his wife, later identified as Witness 2. I asked Passenger and Witness 2 what had happened, They stated that his fingers had been caught in the motor of the vessel while trying to get the motor started.  I advised CPW employee to assist Passenger over to the boat ramp so that the ambulance could get to them. I walked up the boat ramp to guide the ambulance down to Passenger. As the medical team tended to Passenger, I contacted Witness 2 to get more information regarding the incident
  
  Witness 2 informed me that they had been having issues getting the vessel's motor started, and that Passenger had taken the motor cover off in an attempt to fix the issue. While Passenger had the motor cover off, the operator attempted to start the motor. When Operator attempted to start the motor, Passenger had his hand resting on the motor which led to his ring finger and pinky finger being pulled between the flywheel and another gear on the powerhead of the outboard motor. Witness 2 then proceeded to wrap Passenger's fingers with gauze and tape. Witness 2 then told the other parties on the boat that she would take Passenger to the hospital. The other individuals on the boat returned to the water. While walking up the docks to the parking lot, Passenger informed Witness 2 that he was having trouble walking and felt like he was going to pass out. At this point, Witness 2 called 911.
  
  Once Witness 2 finished explaining the incident, I asked where the boat was, and she advised that it was still on the water. I informed Witness 2 to have the other parties return to the marina. After Witness 2 informed Operator to return with the boat, her and Passenger were then transported by AMR to Parkview Main hospital at approximately 1751 hours.
  
  At approximately 1800 hours, Operator and the vessel returned to the north marina. Once in contact with Operator, I conducted a boat safety inspection on the vessel, where I found that the vessel was missing a type 4 personal floatation device (PFD) as required by law. After the boat safety inspection was complete, I asked Operator to explain the incident to me. Operator explained the incident in the same way that Witness 2 had, that himself and Passenger were trying to work on the motor. Operator stated that he didn't know that Passenger had his hand resting on the motor when he tried to start the motor. It was at this time that Passenger's fingers were pulled into the motor.
  
  Once Operator explained the incident, I obtained his driver's license and cleared him through dispatch and issued Operator a citation for operating a vessel that in not equipped as required by law.
  
  Once I had gathered all of the information and issued the citation, I was clear and available at approximately 1832 hours.
