RedactedNarrative: Operator and Occupant were rafting down the Vermilion River near Oglesby. As they came up to the dam on the river they tried to get to the right side of the dam to safety maneuver over it. Operator said for some reason, wind or current, the raft drifted towards the middle of the dam. When they went over the dam the raft got sucked up to the dam. The raft stayed sucked up to the dam for "20-30 minutes" per Operator. Operator and Occupant were tossed out of the raft several times, they would climb back into the raft. Operator said after being tossed out so many times they tried to swim to shore. Operator made it to shore first, it took Occupant another 10 minutes to get to shore.
  
  Once out of the water they walked up a house and 911 was called. They were transported to the Illinois Valley Community Hospital in Peru by Oglesby EMS. At the time of admission Occupant had a body temperature of 87 degrees. Both were treated for hypothermia and stayed in the hospital overnight.
