RedactedNarrative: On April 29, 2016, at 1030 hours, a motorboat owned and operated by subject with two people onboard was traveling North on Claytor Lake past the Claytor Lake State Park rental cabins near the eastern shoreline when the control stick jammed.  
  
  Operator said that he put both hands on the control stick in an attempt to turn the boat but did not pull back on the throttle to slow down.  Operator's attempt to turn the boat failed causing the boat to hit a rock outcropping and a small pine tree that was outstretched over the water on the bank.  
  
  Operator was thrown forward in the boat causing his right lower leg to hit the front deck resulting in a severe laceration.  Operator was transported by ambulance to Carilion New River Valley Medical Center where X-rays were taken and his laceration was stitched up.
