RedactedNarrative: BA Narrative Case #7910-22231
   
  On Saturday June 18, 2022, I MCO, encountered subject1 with passenger operating a personal watercraft. Both claimed to have witnessed a PWC accident involving operator of a 2014 Sea Doo, GTI SE 130 PWC with a passenger.
  
  The involved parties stated Victim had hit his face/head on the back of  Operator's head after their PWC had hit a large wave, causing him to fall off the back of the PWC.  After entering the water, Operator stated Victim unbuckled his life jacket trying to get his breath and in doing so, caused him to briefly go under the water's surface and take into his lungs, a substantial amount of water. Subject2 and Operator continued to help Victim by trying to give him rescue breaths while laying in the water on his back. Subject1 also helped hold him above water as the others attended to him. Two other witnesses were in the area and they also helped Victim to stay afloat. 
  
  As I approached, I observed an unoccupied green and white Sea Doo PWC in the middle of the channel. I looked back to my left and saw a subject in the water that was being assisted by several other people. Upon making contact, they asked for help. I positioned my patrol boat next to those in the water near the dive door on my boat. I opened the dive door and pulled Victim into my patrol boat. He was unresponsive at the time and turning blue in the face.  I assisted Subject2 into my boat so he could assist as well.  As Victim was positioned on his side, water begin to come out of his mouth and nasal passages, he began to cough, breath, and regained consciousness.  I then transported all to Waitsboro Ramp.
  
  As I pulled up to the Waitsboro Dock, Somerset/Pulaski County EMS was pulling down the ramp. I tied the boat to the dock and met State Police, Pulaski County Sheriff Department, and Burnside Police Department units that had responded to assist. We helped Victim off my patrol boat onto the ambulance and we left him under the care of Somerset/Pulaski County EMS personnel. He was transported by the Somerset/Pulaski County EMS to Lake Cumberland Regional Hospital and later flown to Lexington UK Medical Center to be observed for any injuries or complications due to his near drowning experience.
  
  During follow up investigation, I obtained written statements from Subject1, Operator, Victim, and Subject2 on 6/22/2022 that are attached. Victim had been released from the hospital at this time and fully recovered.
