RedactedNarrative: On 5/26/14 I, CPO, responded to a call of a boat accident on the Illinois River. The boat was heading back to the Main Street boat ramp in Ottawa. At the ramp I met the boat listed in the report. Victim''s nose was bleeding and was distorted, it appeared to be broken. Victim had the bleeding under control and said he was heading to the hospital after he got his boat on the trailer. 
  
  I asked Victim what had happened. He said they were just downstream of the Marseilles Lock cruising upstream when the boat struck a submerged object. The boat came to a sudden stop and he struck his face on the windshield, no one on board was injured. He said he was going approximately 35 MPH at the time and were in the middle of the river when they struck the submerged object. His spouse immediately called 911. When he realized he could safely operate the boat he headed back to the ramp. 
  
  I gave Victim his copy of the boat accident report and he headed for the hospital.
