RedactedNarrative: On 07-29-16 I was patrolling Deep Cr. Lake Marsh Hill Cove in a marked patrol boat when I was flagged down by a passing boat. They advised that there was a man on the stern of a black boat that CPR was being performed on. I headed North in the cove and was directed by another boat to a dock on Deep Cr Lake. I pulled into the dock and was met by a subject that advised the person had been hit by a prop. There was an Orange and Black Moomba ski boat pulled broadside up on shore. There was a subject on the back of the boat being attended to by a group of people. 
  
  I had advised Tawes of the incident and had requested an ambulance and emergency services. A woman came up to my boat who I later found was the victim’s wife. She wanted to know where the ambulance was and if the Helicopter was coming. I was informed that the victim had been struck by a prop. He had received lacerations to his left back, abdomen, and chest. He had an evisceration and his right leg had a deep laceration. I was advised that there was a physician attending to the subject. I called Garrett Central and requested Trooper 5 and advised of the injuries to the victim. 
  
  Medical personnel from Deep Cr. Vol. Fire Department and Northern Garrett Rescue Squad had arrived, at this time and took over treatment of the patient. I assisted with carrying equipment up to the ambulance. The victim was transported to the Garrett Co. airport and placed aboard Trooper 5. They transported him to Ruby Memorial Hospital.
  
   At this time, I gathered the operator of the vessel and all the other persons that had been in the boat at the time of the accident. I had the subjects stay in a shaded area under a tent while I spoke with the operator. The operator was also the owner of the boat. I asked Operator what had happened.
  
  Operator advised that they had been waterskiing in Marsh Hill Cove in the area of the old S and H boat dealer. They had stopped skiing and everyone was in the boat at this time. They were instructing one of the kids on how to ski and Operator's attention was focused on him. The victim Victim was the only one sitting in the front of the boat. Victim apparently slipped over the side of the boat without anyone noticing. He apparently was going to take a swim. Operator went to move the boat as boat traffic had picked up in the area. He placed the boat in gear and heard and felt the thump of something hitting the prop. When he looked up Victim was floating behind the boat. 
   
  Operator and another subject went into the water and rescued the victim. They got him onto the swim platform and then the back deck of the boat. They wrapped towels around him to hold his intestines and stop the bleeding. Operator operated the boat to shore where medical help was summoned. 
  
  I interviewed Subject and he explained the incident the same as Operator. There were five other subjects on the boat and they all had the same description of the incident
   
   MO arrived and took written statements from Subject and Operator. Sgt. arrived and assisted with the incident and notifications. At this time, I took pictures and inspected the vessel. I found all safety equipment to be on board and in good condition. The vessel was seized for inspection and towed to the New Germany State Park where it was stored inside. It was inventoried also. 
  
  When I spoke with Operator I did not smell any alcohol. I had him perform an HGN and gave him a PBT. He blew a .00 on the PBT. He had advised that he had not been drinking. When asked if Victim had been drinking I was advised by Operator that he had at least three beers that day. Subject also advised that Victim had been drinking.
  
  The on scene investigation is done.
