RedactedNarrative: On 03/19/2016 at about 11:58 hours I was dispatched to a call of a person who was injured by the propeller of a watercraft at Canyon Lake. I contacted the boat that had the injured person on board near the Palo Verde boat ramp. I had them come over the Sheriff’s Office aid station dock that is nearby. 
  
  When I got to the boat at our dock I saw a young female laying on her stomach on the rear ski platform. She was later identified as Victim1.  Victim1 had a towel around her lower left leg. Other people with Victim1 told me she had a been cut by the prop. I removed the towel and saw Victim1 had a deep full thickness laceration to her leg. I put a bandage on the wound and lifted Victim1 on to the transom of the boat. I then saw she had a full thickness laceration to this same leg above her knee cap. I bandaged this cut. Victim1 was moved up to the medical room in the Aid Station. 
  
  Victim1 told me she had jumped off the back of the boat because she was going to kneeboard. She said somehow her leg hit the prop. 
  
  The operator of the boat at the time was Operator1.  Operator1 said the boat belonged to his father Owner1.  Owner1 was not at the lake. The boat is a 17', Four Winns, inboard/outboard, gray and blue ski boat, Arizona registration#. 
  
  Operator1 told me his daughter had just finished wakeboarding and before his daughter got in the boat he put the boat in neutral. Operator1 said the throttle locks into the neutral position and he was sure the boat was in neutral. The motor on the boat was running.   Victim1 jumped in the water behind the boat to go kneeboarding. Operator1 said the boat was not moving, the engine was running, and it was in neutral. He was in the operator seat so he did not know how the prop hit her leg. He heard Victim1 say her leg hurt and he helped her back on the boat and saw the injuries to her leg. 
  
  Operator1's cousin was also on the boat. Cousin said the boat was in neutral. He was in the seat across from the operator seat. He heard Victim1 jump in the water and heard her say her leg was hurt. 
  
  Operator1's wife was in the boat. She said Victim1 was half way between the middle of the boat and the port side far rear. Victim1 was on the ski platform.  Victim1 jumped in the water to get ready to kneeboard and she jumped on an angle towards the starboard side of the boat.  Victim1 was only in the water a short time and said her leg was in a lot of pain. 
  
  Also on the boat were daughter and son. They are Operator1’s and wife’s children.  Victim1 is friends with daughter.  Operator1’s daughter and son both said the boat was in neutral. 
  
  After removing the boat from the water I took several digital pictures of the prop and rear of the boat. See the CD-R of the pictures for further. 
  
  Victim1’s mother was contacted about the accident.
  
  Southwest ambulance 265 transported Alma to Mountain Vista Hospital. 
  
  Nothing further.
