On 062213, I, Cpl. was notified by Putnam County in reference to a boating incident that occurred on Lake Oconee.  Cpl. and I responded to the incident scene by vehicle.  The incident scene was the public boat ramp in Sugar Creek.  Putnam County Sheriff's Office obtained the operator and jet ski information.  The passenger of the vessel was transported to Athens Regional Hospital for treatment.

I made contact with the operator of the vessel.  Operator stated he and his wife, Operator’s wife, were riding their PWC in Richland Creek.  Operator stated they were cruising and was going approximately 40 mph when their jet ski hit a large wake throwing the operator and the passenger from the vessel.  Operator  reboarded the PWC and his wife stated she had hurt her hip.  Operator stated he was able to get his wife back on the ski and drove back to the public ramp in Sugar Creek.  Operator stated he called 911 and had an ambulance to respond to the scene.  I asked if Operator knew where Athens Regional Hospital was located and he said he did not.  I advised Operator he could follow us to the hospital.

Cpl. and I went to Athens Regional Hospital.  We went to get information on the victim and checked the victims injuries.  We were able to get written statements from Operator and a family member who witnessed the incident.  I advised Operator that I would call and check on his wife and get an update on her injuries.

On 062413 around 1330 hours, I called Operator and checked on his wife's injuries.  Operator stated she did not suffer from any broken or fractured bones in the hip.  Operator stated she was bruised in the hip area.  At the time of the incident, there were no indications of alcohol use.  There was also no damage to the PWC.
