THIS ACCIDENT INVESTIGATION WAS PRIMARILY CONDUCTED VIA TELEPHONE.  OFFICER RECEIVED THIS ACCIDENT AND ASKED ME LATER IF I WOULD COMPLETE IT DUE TO HIS TRANSFERRING TO ANOTHER DISTRICT.  I MET WITH THE BOAT OPERATOR, BUT WAS UNSUCCESSFUL IN MEETING WITH THE VICTIM.  ACCORDING TO OUR TELEPHONE CONVERSATION, THE VICTIM IS IN THE PROCESS OF PURCHASING THE VESSEL FROM two subjects.  victim WAS ON BAY TREE LAKE WITH HIS FAMILY.  HE WAS ATTEMPTING TO WATER SKI.  AS HE WAS BEING PULLED UP ONTO THE SKIIS, HE FELL.  ACCORDING TO THE STATEMENT THAT HIS WIFE GAVE TO OFFICER, HE FELT A "POP" AND FELT IMMEDIATE PAIN IN HIS LOWER BACK WHEN HE FELL.  I WENT BY THE VICTIM'S RESIDENCE AND MADE SEVERAL PHONE CALLS BEFORE I WAS FINALLY ABLE TO SPEAK WITH HIM.
