RedactedNarrative: On July 29, 2020 at approximately 17:15 hours, OPERATOR 1 was operating his parent’s Bayliner boat (registration KY-0803-AC) on Williamstown lake in Grant County, with five passengers.  The victim, SUBJECT, was the last of the group to exit the water after swimming for the day.  According to witnesses, SUBJECT was entering the boat while it was in motion. 
  
  While trying to enter the vessel, SUBJECT slipped on the ladder and fell over into the moving propeller of the vessel.   SUBJECT stated that attempted to step on the ladder with his left foot but missed, lost grip of the ladder and fell.  The impact with the propeller caused six lacerations to his left leg from the knee down to the top of his foot.  The lacerations (pictured) were approximately 3/4” in depth and one inch wide in places.  EMS responded to the scene and transported the victim to St. Elizabeth Florence and he was then transported to Cincinnati Children’s hospital. The victim was wearing his lifejacket with his legs through the armholes in a way that would resemble a diaper.  He had surgery following the incident and is expected to have a full recovery with physical therapy.
