RedactedNarrative: On August 30, 2020 at approximately 1:30 PM, 14-year-old was operating a wave runner in the Illinois River, just west of the boat launch at Illini State Park in Marseilles. Operator has limited boating experience and has not completed the Boater''s Education Course with the Illinois Department of Natural Resources. 
  
  Operator was operating the wave running approximately 30 feet parallel from where his step-father was operating another wave runner. Operator’s mother was on shore observing the two during the time of the accident. The Illinois River had high traffic volume in this area during the time of the accident causing excess wake. 
  
  Operator was to the right and slightly behind his stepfather traveling west when he accelerated while turning left into the wake. Operator lost control of the waver runner and was ejected. Operator was wearing a life jacket. He sustained injuries to his right eye and complained of pain to his left shoulder. It is unknown if the injuries are due to impact with the PWC. 
  
  Operator was transported by Marseilles EMS to St. Elizabeth Medical Center in Ottawa, IL. 
  
  There was no damaged to the PWC.
