RedactedNarrative: Vessel - 2006, 24' Azure Open Motorboat w/1 Inboard Engine 
  
  On 06/20/2015, at about 7:00 p.m., this vessel, operated by Operator, was drifting on Lake Wallula in the Columbia Park Marina located near Richland, WA in Benton county. According to Law Enforcement, on 06/21/2015, at about 10:00 a.m., they were notified by the owner of Columbia River Rentals of a boating accident that had occurred in Columbia Park Marina.   
  
  Officers contacted Rental agency and were informed that on 06/20/2015, at around 7:00 p.m., several boats were tied up next to each other in the area of the Marina known as the mud hole or McDougal Bay.  One of the boats was being operated by Operator.  Rental agency was not sure what exactly happened but reported that Operator' boat came screaming up to the dock and Operator was loaded into an ambulance missing three fingers on his left hand (Pointer, Ring, and Pinky).  Rental agency had no further information. 
  
  Officers called Kadlec Medical Center and confirmed Operator was there.  Officers went to Kadlec Medical Center and contacted Operator and his girlfriend.  Operator was medicated and seemed to be affected by his condition.  He was awake, and able to speak to the officers.  According to Operator, he was untying his mooring lines on his vessel which was attached to another vessel right next to him.  Somehow in the process, his hand got caught on the line as the other vessel began to power away from him.  The next thing he knew he felt pain in his left hand, looked down and saw a lot of blood.  He said that he'd been up all night due to the pain in his hand and was very tired. 
  
  Operator' girlfriend gave a similar statement to his.  She added that she heard her friend yell "xx let go of the rope."  Her friend was on another boat and girlfriend could not be sure exactly where her friend was at. 
  
  Law Enforcement reported that due to Operator' condition, they could not make a complete or accurate assessment of this incident due to incomplete information.  Further investigation into this case will be conducted.  Any additional findings or information will be forwarded to State Parks Boating Program at which time this record will be updated in the BARD.
