Lee was operating a 2015 Regal boat. 54-year-old Patrick C. Lee was an occupant on the boat. Patrick Lee departed the vessel into the water when he was struck by the propeller. He sustained serious injuries and was transported to Lake Regional Hospital by Lake West EMS. There was no damage to the vessel, and it was docked at a private dock.
