RedactedNarrative: On 6/14/14, V-1 was traveling west within Hatchet Creek located on the ICW Venice, FL with three persons on board. At approximately 1545 hrs, V-1 accelerated from the slow speed/resume normal regulatory sign at ICW Red Marker number 8, headed towards "Roberts Bay" with a tube in short tow. The tow line was being held by passenger. As V-1 accelerated, the drag from the tube pulled her into the water and she became tangled in the tow line at the wrist area. The pressure from the accelerating PWC and the nature of the tangle severed her left hand off. she will likely need addtional treatments and/or surgeries over the next year.
