Victim was at the sandbar which is located up the Chattahoochee River on Lake Harding when a storm blew up and everyone began to leave the area. Victim stated that he was with 2 other persons also on PWC's, but that he was the first to leave. He stated that he was traveling at approximately 70 MPH when he evidently hit the wake of another boat or wave and this caused him to be thrown from the PWC. He attempted several times to get back on the PWC, but couldn't due to the pain he was in. After approximately 15 or 20 minutes according to him, he was assisted onto a pontoon boat and taken to Idle Hour Boat Ramp to meet the ambulance. Victim did admit to EMS personnel, Trooper and myself that he had comsumed approximatly 8 beers during the course of the day. Due to this and the odor of alcohol still on his breath when I arrived at the hospital 3 hours after the incident, I read him implied consent and requested blood from Victim. He consented and charges are pending. Victim sustained a broken pelvis bone.
