Subject was wakeboarding with her step-mother driving the boat.  Witnesses on the boat say that the front edge of Victim's wakeboard went below the water and she was thrown forward into a face plant. The wakeboard still attached flipped over her in a feet over head flip.  She did not lose consciousness that they know of.  She came right up but was in a lot of pain in her back.  She also said she could not feel or move her legs.  After getting her into the boat they took her to American Fork Marina and was met by EMS.  Her LOC was getting worse as time passed, but she did stay conscious.

Myself and Officer we on the lake on a boater assist when the accident occurred.  We responded from a mile NW of Provo Marina.  We arrived just after EMS had Victim on a backboard.  She was transported to Utah Valley Medical Center in Provo due to the serious nature of her back injury instead of going to American Fork Hospital.
