I WAS DISPATCHED TO ECHO HILL CAMPGROUND FOR A REPORT OF A SAILBOAT ACCIDENT. UPON MY ARRIVAL I SPOKE TO VARIOUS CAMP COUNSELORS WHO ADVISED THE VICTIM HAD BEEN TRANSPORTED TO CHESTER RIVER HOSPITAL WITH INJURIES TO HER BACK AND RIBS. I WAS ADVISED THAT SHE WAS THE SOLE OCCUPANT OF THE VESSEL. A 16FT HOBBIE CAT SAILBOAT WHICH OVERTURNED APPROX. 300 YARDS OFF SHORE. THE VICTIM WAS ATTEMPTING TO TIE DOWN A SAIL IN ORDER TO RETURN TO SHORE WHEN THE WIND CAUGHT THE SAIL. THE VESSEL OVERTURNED, PITCHING THE VICTIM INTO THE WATER. THE VICTIM STRUCK HER BACK AND RIBS ON THE VESSEL WHEN IT CAME DOWN UPON HER. THE VICTIM WAS WEARING A LIFE JACKET AND WAS ASSISTED TO SHORE BY VARIOUS CAMP MEMBERS. IN LIGHT OF HER INJURIES THE VICTIM WAS KEPT IN THE WATER UNTIL MEDICAL ASSISTANCE ARRIVED TO PROPERLY REMOVE HER. SHE WAS TRANSPORTED TO CHESTER RIVER HOSPITAL FOR MEDICAL ATTENTION.
