Jamestown (CSi) The Jamestown City Fire Department\u2019s, Water Rescue Team was called to Jamestown Reservoir about 1:44p.m., Sunday to a report of a boat operating driverless in the water, in\u00a0a circle.<\/p>\n
City Fire Chief Jim Reuther says, the boat was moving about 15-20 miles per hour, after the boat operator, Rick Mickelson of Jamestown\u00a0said the steering bar in the back if the boat malfunctioned, and the boat lurched to the right flipping Mickelson out of the boat.<\/p>\n
Mickelson hit his head but was not seriously injured, and he was tossed outside the circle the boat was making in the water.<\/p>\n
He was able to swim to shore, and declined medical treatment.<\/p>\n
Reuther says the rescue boat made waves around the runaway boat in order to\u00a0push it to shore\u00a0but was unsuccessful.<\/p>\n
