Unit 1 was travelling south on the Little Pee Dee River near Cartwheel Landing.  Unit 1 struck a tree in the river which knocked the operator out of the vessel.  The operator was wearing a life jacket at the time.  He was transported to the bank of the river by another boater where he was later taken to the landing by Mullins Rescue.  He was then transported to Marion Emergency by EMS.
