RedactedNarrative: On Saturday August 1st, 2020 at approximately 4:00pm a boating incident occurred involving a 2017 Key West.  Owner was on board the vessel at the time of the incident.  The vessel is a 21 foot long recreational center console vessel.  The Georgia registration number is GA 0498 RB.  There were 9 people on board the vessel at the time of the incident.  One occupant was a 7 year old female.  
  
  The boating incident occurred on Tybee Creek which is considered waters of the state of Georgia.  The vessel was traveling west and had recently left the sand bar at the south Tybee Island beach area.  The vessel hit the bank/marsh on the north side of the creek with enough speed to eject 5 occupants from the vessel into the water and onto an oyster bar.  
  
  The ejected occupants suffered multiple lacerations and head injuries.  I, Cpl., came upon the incident at approximately 4:11pm.  Two occupants were still in the water at that time.  A good Samaritan on a personal watercraft (PWC) helped get those two occupants safely onto my vessel.  
  
  Shortly after arriving at AJ’s, I asked Subject1 who had been driving the vessel and she stated Operator.  I confirmed Operator who was in the grey shirt and Subject1 stated “yeah.”  Subject1 advised sometimes Operator doesn’t pay attention while driving the vessel.  After all individuals were removed from the vessels I, along with USCG personnel, conducted a safety inspection on Owner's vessel.  During the inspection, I observed a trash bag in the console that had various empty alcoholic beverage containers.  There were also various empty alcoholic beverage containers in the rear center storage compartment of the vessel.  
  
  Later that evening, Game Warden (GW) briefly interviewed 4 of the injured individuals at Memorial Medical Health Center (MMHC) after they had been transported.  Operator stated to GW that she had been at the sandbar prior to the incident and had drank 4.5 to 5 beers since 11:00am.  GW also said that Operator stated she was standing to the left of the steering wheel and that no one was driving the vessel at the time of the incident.  GW interviewed subject2 who was also an injured occupant on the vessel.  GW advised Subject2 also said Operator was driving.  Subject1 also told GW that Operator was driving the vessel at the time of the incident.  
  
  During the afternoon of Sunday, August, 2nd, 2020, I was advised by a nursing supervisor at MHMC that all individuals involved in the incident had been treated and discharged from the hospital.
