RedactedNarrative: The Injured person was a passenger fishing in a 13.6 feet v-hull boat. While the boat was underway the Operator lost control of the tiller handle. The 15 HP mercury outboard motor swung around sharply causing the boat to turn in a circle. The Operator was immediately ejected from the boat and the boat filled about halfway with water.  
  
  The boat then circled back towards the Operator in a clockwise direction just missing the Operator.  The Passenger was still sitting in the front of the runaway boat.  When the Passenger stood in an attempt to cut the engine she was ejected. 
  
  Neither was wearing life jackets at the time. As both swam towards shore, the boat circled a couple of times at approximately 10 mph in a clockwise rotation.  The boat nearly missed both several times as they would dive down below it to get out of the way of the prop.  The Passenger was then hit.  The Injured person sustained injuries to her face, teeth and shoulder area from the accident. The boat stalled out shortly after and began to sink.   
  
  The Injured person and Operator were able to grab floating life jackets and swim to shore. The Injured person and Operator flagged down.  Operator and Passenger made it to shore and flagged down someone to call 911.  The boat was recovered by an unknown boater and towed to shore.
  
  The operator was checked for OWI and the found to not be impaired by alcohol. The Injured person was transported to a Duluth hospital by helicopter for serious injuries.
