RedactedNarrative: Single vessel boating accident, driver ejected.
  
  On 7/22/17 at approximately 3:00pm I met with victim at his residence. He seemed to be walking and talking with little to no pain. His left shoulder was in a sling but he stated he could write a statement. As he wrote the statement we spoke of the accident. 
  
  Victim stated he had been at the milk bus pavilion when he decided to meet some friends at the swimming hole by the Hatchineha canal. He headed west, out of the main channel to avoid traffic. He stated he was cruising at around 45-50mph in a straight line when he hit a line of grass. The grass pushed the front of the boat up causing it to catch air and veer to his left. Victim tried to hold on to the rudder stick which wrenched his shoulder. It also caused the vessel to veer violently to the right and throw him out of the vessel. The vessel did a 180 degree turn. Landed rear first in the water, which stopped it and caused the rudder, prop and cage damage. When the vessel stopped it was floating up right facing east.   
  
  He stated that he had thousands of hours and 25 years’ experience on airboats. Victim stated he had a previous back injury and that the accident agitated it. He was diagnosed with a lower back compression, a dislocated left shoulder and released from the hospital.
