RedactedNarrative: On 7/3/2022 at approximately 1245 hours while on patrol near Homosassa, I was notified of a boating accident that had occurred in the "scallop grounds" area that involved a propeller strike to an individual. The victim was onboard a vessel and inbound to Riverhaven Marina. While in the Homosassa River channel, I located the vessel with the victim and provided escort to Riverhaven Marina. 
  
  I spoke to the vessel's operator and owner and an occupant who explained the events of the accident. They were in the vessel as it drifted within the "scallop grounds" while the other occupants were snorkeling and collecting scallops. Minutes later, with five of the six swimmers in the vessel, operator engaged the vessel into reverse. The sixth swimmer was still in the water and at the vessel's stern area when the vessel was engaged into reverse. Tracy's right leg was struck by the propellor, causing one large laceration. She received first aid treatment by the other occupants, and was ultimately transported by Citrus County Fire and Rescue to the Bravera Health Seven Rivers Hospital. 
  
  No further law enforcement action was taken.
