INITIAL CALL
On Thursday, July 15, 2010, at approximately 20:10 hours, I observed an EMS ambulance (from North Summit Fire I believe) pass me while I was collecting fee envelopes from the Rockport Estate pullout area.  I then proceeded down to Rockport's Riverside campground.  While there, at approximately 20:20 hours, I viewed the computer program "Fatpot" and noticed the call notes for a medical situation.  In the notes it contained information of a wakeboarding accident on Rockport Reservoir.  I contacted Summit County Dispatch (SCD) to inquire if there was indeed a medical call at Rockport State Park.  SCD confirmed the accident and that the parties were at Rockport's marina area.  I informed SCD that I was en route from my location.

ARRIVAL ON SCENE AND INCIDENT DETAILS
I arrived on scene at approximately 20:30 hours.  EMS team was loading up the patient.  I was not able to speak with her or her son's father.  I did speak with the owner and operator of the boat and also his wife, who witnessed the accident (see witness statement).

According to OPERATOR, at approximately 19:40 hours, a total of five individuals were on his boat at the south east end of Rockport Reservoir.  VICTIM, who is visiting from Sweden with her son and his father, was preparing to wakeboard.  When preparation was completed and VICTIM was ready, OPERATOR began accelerating the boat to lift VICTIM up out of the water; she let go of the tow rope during the process.  OPERATOR brought the boat back to her location in the water at which point she indicated to the group that she was injured.  They brought VICTIM back on board the boat and headed toward the marina where EMS picked her up.  They transported VICTIM via ground ambulance to St. Marks hospital in Salt Lake City.

BOAT DAMAGE
None.

INJURY
I called wife  of operator on Friday, July 16, 2010, at approximately 15:15 hours and spoke with her.  wife stated that VICTIM sustained a fractured femur on her right leg and was at that moment in surgery to have it repaired.  She also said that pins would need to be placed in the bone.
