RedactedNarrative: On 8/5/23 at approximately 1841, I received notification from TWRA Region 2 dispatch stating an individual had sustained a laceration to their head on Old Hickory Lake and was being transported to Shutes Branch Recreation Area by a private party to receive treatment from WEMA. 
  
  I arrived at Shutes Branch Recreation Area at approximately 1928 and was notified the victim was now being transported via boat to Blue Turtle Bay Marina. Upon arrival at Blue Turtle Bay Marina, I observed Metro OEM administering care to a female individual.
  
  During initial interview with Victim, I observed a strong odor of an alcoholic beverage, slurred speech, watery and glassy eyes, and Victim admitted to drinking while on the lake that day. Victim also stated that she takes daily prescription Zoloft. When asked what events occurred leading up to the incident causing her laceration, Victim stated she was wading/swimming in Two Foot Cove when she saw a male operating a PWC. 
  
  She stated she flagged the male down because she wanted to ride the PWC with him. Victim stated she did not know the male individual at all prior to the vessel incident, nor did she know his name or appearance after the incident. When asked about the color or description of the PWC, Victim first stated red, then blue, then stated she did not know what color it actually was. Victim stated she sat behind the male individual as he operated the PWC for a brief time before changing seats, placing herself as the operator of the PWC. 
  
  Victim stated she operated the PWC for a few minutes before hitting a wake from another vessel, but did not know what she had hit her head on to cause her injury. During this interview, Victim stated multiple times that she was the operator of the PWC at the time of the collision with the wake that resulted in her being injured. When asked where the PWC or the male individual was, Victim stated she did not know where he went after dropping her off back at Two Foot Cove. 
  
  During the end of questioning, Victim became mildly combative and argument with EMS workers, attempting to pull out her IV line multiple times before finally being transported to Summit Medical Center. Upon arrival to Summit Medical Center, I was flagged down by one of the medical personnel aboard the ambulance Victim was transported in. 
  
  The personnel stated that Victim had told her, prior to my arrival to Blue Turtle Bay Marina, that she had been the operator of the PWC at the time of collision with wake resulting in the laceration to her head. At Summit Medical Center, I again asked Victim what events occurred leading up to her injury, with resulting statements matching with those she gave while in OEM ambulance. I advised Victim of statutory requirements in TCA that required an operator of a vessel at the time of an accident resulting in serious bodily injury or fatality to submit to a chemical sample to determine their BAC, to which she consented. Once medical staff was notified and in Victim''s room, I again asked if she wished to consent to a blood draw, to which she again consented. Numerous attempts were made to determine the identity or description of the involved PWC, male individual, or precise location of accident without further success. Oral statements were taken from acquaintances whom helped transport Victim to Blue Turtle Bay Marina, but all stated they did not see the accident occur, nor did they know the male individual or a description of the PWC.
