RedactedNarrative: On June 14, 2020 a fifteen-year-old girl, was swimming at Lake Milton State park with several of her family friends. They were swimming around the pontoon boat as well. The owner/operator of the vessel noticed that the wind was pushing his vessel towards the shoreline. The operator/owner attempted to put the vessel in reverse and back away from the shoreline to avoid causing damage to his vessel. 
  
  He did not notice that the victim was behind the vessel along with several other younger children. When the operator/owner began backing his vessel away from the shore his son yelled “stop”. At this point the operator/owner had already struck the victim with the propeller of his vessel. 
  
  The propeller caused severe lacerations to the victim's upper right thigh area. She was then loaded onto the operator/owner vessel and taken back to shore and 911 was already called by his wife. The ambulance arrived within moments of the operator/owner was getting back to shore. The victim was then taken by ambulance to St. Elizabeth’s Hospital in Youngstown, Ohio.
