On 06/01/2010 around 1515 hours, I was contacted by my Region Office of a possible boating incident with injuries. I was given a phone number to call. The number was to an unidentified white female. I called the number and spoke with the female. She advised me there was a young white female in a lot of pain and she was in a vessel trying to help the young lady stay afloat. I advised the older white female not to move her and try or keep her from moving. I advised the older female that I was on I-20 was not near a vessel but I was going to disconnect from her and call 911. I asked her where she was located and she told me at the sandbar at the mouth of Richland Creek. I called 911 and had the Greene County Emergency Responders respond to the incident by vessel and they would probably have some sort of neck or spine injury. 

I then had an ambulance stage at the Armour Bridge boat ramp. Upon arrival, I made contact with EMS personnel. After Operator was placed in the ambulance, I spoke with her about what had happened. Operator stated that she and a friend were riding a jet ski and her friend screamed which scared her. Operator stated she let off the throttle and was thrown from the ski. Operator stated she did not remember anything after being thrown from the ski. Operator was transported to Athens Regional Hospital for evaluation. I spoke with the owner of the ski. Owner stated he had a group of girls down for a Sunday School retreat and had advised them of the rules pertaining to the operation of the ski. Owner stated the passenger  was at his home and would be available for questioning concerning the incident. I went to Athens Regional and spoke with Operator. Operator provided me with a statement. I found out the extent of her injuries and called Owner to set as time up on 06/02/2010 to come and get the information off the ski and to speak with occupant. On 06/02/2010 around 1030 hours, I went to the residence of Owner. I spoke with the passenger. Owner stated they had spun abruptly and both Operator and she were thrown for the ski. occupant provided me with a statement and I completed the investigation. No charges were filed in the incident and a boating incident form was completed.
