RedactedNarrative: On July 23, 2016 at approximately 6:40 PM I responded to a single boat accident with personal injury that occurred on the Chesapeake Bay off of Pinehurst and Pasadena, MD.  The victim suffered from a laceration on his right leg caused by a boat propeller strike.  The boat that Victim was on transported him to meet Anne Arundel County EMS. 
   
  After I arrived on scene I met the operator of the vessel and he told me that they were motoring from Dobbins Island-Magothy River to Pleasure Cove Marina-Bodkin Creek when Victim fell overboard off of the bow of the pontoon boat, went underneath the boat, and made contact with the spinning propeller.  Operator told me that Victim was laying on a towable tube that was on the bow of the pontoon boat prior to falling overboard.  The boat was in gear and moving forward at the time of the accident.  Based on my observations, Operator was not under the influence of alcohol at the time of the accident.  The contributing factor was Victim sitting on the bow of the vessel and outside of the safety rail.
  
  The vessel was a rental that was leased by Operator on the morning of July 23, 2016.  The rental company was Suntex Boat Club, LLC located at Pleasure Cove Marina - Bodkin Creek - 1701 Poplar Ridge Rd, Pasadena, MD 21122.  The Rental Agreement between Operator and Suntex is attached to this report.  
  
  The victim was transported by Anne Arundel County Ambulance to Baltimore Washington Medical Center.  
  
  All events occurred in Anne Arundel County, Maryland
