RedactedNarrative: On 7/18/15 at 2:21 PM, I received a call from Raleigh dispatch.  Raleigh advised that a boating accident had occurred and that one person was injured and being transported to the Outer Banks Hospital.  I patrolled to the Outer Banks Hospital and spoke with the victim.  Victim was being treated for severe lacerations on both of his legs.  Victim reported he was a passenger on a rented pontoon boat earlier that day.  He reported he was sitting on the bow (front) of the pontoon boat, known as vessel 1.  Victim reported he was squatting on the outside of the front guard rail of vessel 1.  He reported vessel 1 was cruising about 10 mph when he fell overboard and was ran over by vessel 1.  He reported the propeller ended up cutting his legs in several places.  Officer spoke with the operator and several of the passengers that same day at a house the group was renting in Rodanthe, NC.  The operator reported that he and several others on board vessel 1 were telling Victim to sit down and to not ride on the bow of the vessel.  No charges were filed in this matter.  Alcohol / drugs were a contributing factor to this accident.  No parties on board were wearing PFDs.  Nothing further at this time.
