RedactedNarrative: On 06/28/14 at approximately 6:55 p.m. Sgt. And I were notified by Illinois State Police of a personal injury boat accident that occurred at approximately 6:35 p.m. on Green View Lake in Lawrence Co. The accident involved a ski boat and a swimmer. At 7:56 I arrived on scene and spoke with ISP trooper. Trooper stated a ski boat towing a tube with 2 occupants struck a male subject on a raft. Prior to my arrival Victim was transported to Good Smaritain Hospital in Vincennes, Indiana and then flown by life flight to Saint Mary''s Hospital in Evansville, Indiana. The boat operator left the scene with the ambulance to ride with Victim to the Hospital. Upon my arrival Operator was back at the scene filling out a statement(see attached statement). 
  
  I asked Operator if she had consumed any alcohol, she stated no. I performed HGN on Operator which showed no signs of impairment. Operator submitted to a preliminary breath test, which indicated a BAC of .000. Operator stated she was operating a boat circling clockwise around a small island in the lake with occupant seated in front of the boat as a observer. Operator was towing a tube with two occupants. When Operator made a right turn the tube swung around striking Victim floating on a raft approximately 35 yards from the boat ramp. After the tube struck Victim, subject went to the aid of Victim. Operator drove the boat to assist Subject in getting Victim onto the boat and back to shore. Operator dialed 911 to report the accident. Operator stated Victim had a red mark diagonally across his chest and blood coming from his mouth. Victim was also in and out of consciousness and was taking short gasp of air. Subject stated that his leg struck Victim causing him to fall off the tube. Subject went to the aid of Victim and assisted him into the boat (see attached statement). tuber stated she saw they were going to hit Victim and she jumped off the tube prior to impact.(see attached statement) Subject2 stated (see attached statement) they went by Victim to create some waves for Victim on the raft. Subject2 stated the tube went out further than they expected and impacted Victim.
