RedactedNarrative: On 4/21/16 I was notified of a boat accident he had on the Rock River near the Honenegah Forest Preserve on 4/17/16. Subject told me he was sitting on the seats in the back of his boat next to his girlfriend and with his friend operating the boat. 
  
  Subject told me they were traveling north and were adjacent to the Honenegah Forest Preserve when they ran into a low hanging utility wire that was stretched across the river. The operator immediately slowed the boat as the wire struck the ski rack on the boat. Subject then grabbed Occupant1 and pulled her down into the seat and grabbed the cable with his other hand and pulled it over their heads. The cable struck both Subject and Occupant1. Occupant1 said she had a bruise on her left arm and Subject said he had a red mark on his hand from grabbing the cable. Subject said the cable then snapped and struck the left side of his boat which left it scratched. He said there was a second cable still strung across the river and was still intact. He said no medical treatment was required. 
  
  After this happened They drove to the shoreline where there was a couple people fishing to ask where they were at. (I was unable to locate the witnesses.) The fishermen told them they were at the Honenegah Forest Preserve in Rockton. Subject said they then drove back to Rockford where they took their boat out of the water. 
  
  I drove to the Honenegah Forest Preserve and saw the location of the utility wire where it crosses the river. The remaining wire had been re-stretched and was now no longer hanging low. It appeared to be a COMED utility wire. I phoned COMED. I told him of this location and asked if he had any calls about this wire. He checked his records and told me they were advised of the snapped wire and low hanging wire at this location at 2:22 PM on April 17th. He told me the crews tightened the remaining wire on April 18. He could not tell me who phoned this issue with the wire in to them.
  
  I then drove to Subjects home where his boat was parked. I inspected his boat for damage and found scratches on the left side of his boat, and scratches to the ski rack where the wire contacted it. I photographed the damage that I saw. I later met with Subject at his house and he showed me the damage to his boat which was consistent with what I saw on my first inspection. 
  I later mailed Subject the Boating Accident Report for him to complete and return to Springfield.
