RedactedNarrative: On 07/19/2015 at approximately 2030 hours, I was dispatched to Kootenai Medical Center in regards to an injury boat crash that had occurred at the above location. Dispatch advised me the crash occurred at the dock, and the injured female juvenile was being transported by her parents to the emergency room. 
  
  Upon my arrival at Kootenai Health, I contacted the vessel’s operator who told me the following: he and his daughter had boarded the boat while it was secured at the dock. He and the family were preparing to go for an evening cruise, and he and his daughter were getting the boat ready. Victim was in the process of un-securing the stern line which was connected to the dock, when Operator started the boat and put it in reverse. This caused the stern line to quickly tighten while Victim was attempting to untie it. Victim’s left thumb then got caught in the line while it was tightening and it was partially severed off. Operator quickly stopped the boat and came to his daughter’s aid. He and his wife transported Victim to Kootenai Health. 
  
  Operator told me he was not aware Victim was still untying the boat, and advised he only had the boat on for a few seconds before he realized what had happened. 
  
  I spoke with Victim and she confirmed what Operator had told me. I observed Victim’s injury and found that her thumb had a laceration to the inside portion. It appeared to go all the way around, and was very deep. Victim was not on pain medication, and was in a lot of pain. Because of this, I did not manipulate the injury to get more accurate photographs. The photographs taken were downloaded to a CD and later placed into KCSO Evidence. While on scene, I requested Operator sign a release of medical information form, and he consented.
