RedactedNarrative: Vessel 1 was traveling downstream on the Illinois River downstream from Seneca Illinois.  Operator was operating the watercraft and Subject1 was observing Subject2 and Victim on the tube.  Subject2 and Victim were both being towed on the same tube for about 15-20 minutes before the accident.  While sitting in the tube, Subject2 was on the left (port side)  and Victim was on the right.  At approximately river mile marker 250.5, at the bend in the river (east of “E 2659th RD”), Operator noticed “little pebbles or rocks” above the water where there was apparently a sand bar.  He turned the boat to the left (port) to avoid the sandbar and the tube swung to the right (starboard).  The tube hit the sand bar, and flipped ejecting the passengers.
  
       Subject2 stated Victim was sitting upright on the sandbar when he “ran to her”, and she was conscious.  Victim stated that she didn’t remember anything.  She just remembered being back on the boat and didn’t know how she got there.  Victim thinks that she passed out.  911 was called around 3:45 PM.  Operator drove the boat back to Mariners marina where they met an Ambulance.  Victim was transported to the Morris Hospital.
  
  
       As I reached the scene at 4PM by boat, the Ambulance was just leaving the scene.  I photographed the boat and tube.  Two cups containing an alcoholic beverage were on the passenger side of the boat and the boat was registered to another individual.  Conservation Police Officer (CPO) went to the Morris Hospital to Speak to the occupants of the vessel.
  
  
      CPO did not smell the odor of an alcoholic beverage on Operator as he was asking questions at the hospital.  Victim complained of a sore left hand and sore neck.  She had a laceration to right elbow (no stitches needed, the bleeding stopped on its own), and scrapes on head.  The Hospital ordered x-rays on her hand and CT scan.  While still in hospital room, hospital staff stated CT scan was good and removed the neck brace.  victim was observed leaving the hospital at approximately 5:56PM.
