RedactedNarrative: 07/06/2015 
  On this date I received a call in reference to a vessel accident which had occurred the prior day (07-05-2015). I was advised that Victim was being towed on a tube behind a vessel on the Patcong Creek at which time she struck the vessel face first, causing a laceration and chipping her teeth. A search indicated that the accident had not yet been reported. 
   
  Operator #1 was contacted and stated that they were hanging out with friends and other boats at "The Dredge" on Patcong Creek.  Multiple times they departed to tow people on a tube on the Patcong Creek, then returned to the Dredge. He advised he does not remember who was on the vessel at the time of this incident due to having made multiple trips with different people, although possibly 6 total. He further stated that at one point he was towing Victim and one other on the tube when he attempted to turn left. At that time the vessel ran aground and came to a quick stop, although the tube continued and hit the back of the vessel. 
   
  (operator #1) advised he was unsure what to do, or if the incident had to be reported, although it was apparent that Victim needed medical attention. At that time someone called an Uber cab to take her and other tuber to the hospital. 
   
  Victim advised she was with the group at the Dredge when she went with Other tuber and other passengers to go on the tube. She stated she got on the tube but immediately got scared due to operation of the vessel and how low the tide was, so she immediately wanted to get off of the tube. A short time later the vessel made a turn and came to a stop, at which time she remembers the vessel quickly coming at her, then the impact with the side of the vessel toward the rear. 
   
  When asked who was on the vessel at the time, Victim advised she believes there were 8 POB, but could not provide names. 
   
  Other tuber stated he was on the tube with Victim when the vessel turned and quickly stopped. After the vessel stopped the tube continued and they hit the back left side of the vessel. When he saw how bad Victim was injured he called an Uber cab to take them to the hospital. 
   
  When asked who was on the vessel at the time, Other tuber advised he does not remember who or how many passengers there were. 
   
  Interviews and investigation revealed that operator #1 was towing a tube behind vessel #1 on the Patcong Creek in Somers Point, Atlantic Co. At the time in which this accident occurred there were 2 passengers on the tube, Victim and Other tuber. While towing the tube operator #1 attempted to turn the vessel, which ran aground due to a lower tide and came to a stop. The tube, with Victim and Other tuber still on, continued and impact occurred with the port quarter of vessel #1. Due to Victim's position on the tube (lying on her stomach, facing forward) she was unable to fend off the impact and sustained a laceration to her face and chipped teeth. Other tuber was reportedly not injured. 
  Victim was transported to Shore Memorial Hospital for treatment of her injuries. 
   
  Vessel #1 reportedly sustained no damage and was operated from the scene. 
  Multiple attempts were made to find and contact other passengers on the vessel, all meeting with negative results.
