RedactedNarrative: Based on a review of evidence, it is believed that the motor of a vessel struck the edge of a sandbar causing the tiller handle to jerk from the operator’s hand.  The sudden movement caused an occupant to be thrown from the vessel and struck by the propeller.  The victim received a laceration to her right ankle and two fractures to bones in her right ankle. The propeller continued up her right leg, and she had an avulsion to her calf resulting in the removal of tissue and muscle in a 12 x 5 inch area.  As the boat continued over her, it appears she rolled over face up.  She had incisions to the left side of her torso, left breast, and left forearm.  She had deep contusions to her left torso, left breast, left shoulder, and upper left arm.  
  
  According to a passenger, all people onboard were drinking.  Operator had been drinking vodka.  Others had beer.
  
  The passenger all noted that the operator wasn’t very good at driving the boat, refused to let others drive, and was making them nervous.
