RedactedNarrative: On 02/05/2023 at approximately 1:12 pm, I received a call about a possible drowning victim at the GBRA boat ramp on Coleto Creek Reservoir. Upon arriving, the victim and boat owner, was being placed onto a backboard and loaded into an ambulance. After speaking with his boat partner and two other witnesses, I learned that Operator was waiting to load the boat onto the trailer. He killed the engine and stood on the front deck to relieve himself over the side. He lost his balance and fell off the front of the boat face first into the water. After several minutes of trying to tread water he was unable to maintain his struggle. Another boat that was already loaded onto a trailer, relaunched his boat and proceeded to rescue him. The assisting boat operator stated to me that when he loaded him onto his boat that he was not breathing. The assisting boat operator provided CPR and four breaths to him. After a minute or so Injured started to gargle and cough up water. He was driven to the bank where EMS, Goliad SO, and I were. He was loaded into the ambulance and transported to DeTar Hospital in Victoria. I called back to the hospital to follow up on his condition. He was doing well and only had a few broken/cracked ribs from CPR and hypothermia. He is expected to make a full recovery.
