Inman told News4Jax reporter, “I woke up and I was inside the boat with another boat on top of me and water rushing in.” The ski boat fled the accident scene after the collision but was apprehended by Florida’s Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission. The four victims were able to make it back to shore with their lives but Logan Farquhar lost his leg. Before first responders were able to arrive on scene, Inman placed a tourniquet on Farquhar’s leg which doctors commented that could have saved him from bleeding out.

The boats involved in the accident were taken into custody by Florida law enforcement. Given the ongoing investigation, the name of the ski boat’s operator has not yet been released. Farquhar’s medical bills will likely be significant. Inman set up a GoFundMe page to help with these medical expenses.
