RedactedNarrative: On September 4, 2022 at 23:38 hours on Gardner Lake, Johnson County, Kansas operator 1 asked passenger 1 (who was sitting beside the operator) if he could operate his boat, a 20' aluminum hull jonboat. After agreeing, Operator 1 immediately engaged the throttle and accelerated the boat in a north/northwest direction. The boat was close to the northern shoreline of the lake between the public dock and the spillway.
  
  Passengers stated the boat was cruising at a speed between 30 to 40 mph prior to running aground between the dock and spillway. Prior to impact, passenger 2 (who was sitting on the bow) remembered making a hand motion for operator 1 to turn away from the shoreline, but the boat collided on some rocks. Passenger 2 was ejected forwarded onto the ground. She was treated at the hospital for a concussion and cuts to her forwards.
  
  Passenger 4 (was sitting near the bow) at the time of impact had her right upper tangled in the anchor rope that was secured to the front boat cleat. After the impact the anchor went to the stern of the boat and the anchor caused severe lacerations into the upper arm of passenger 4. She was treated for her injuries at the hospital, including amputation of her right arm below the injured area. 
  
  The operator had been periodically consuming alcoholic beverages throughout the day while boating on Gardner Lake. After field testing for impairment the operator was taken into custody for boating under influence. The damage to boat consisted of dents, lateral gouges, and paint removal to the aluminum hull. The lower unit was cracked and the shaft was bent and propeller was damaged.
