RedactedNarrative: On 08-02-19 at 1225hrs I was contacted by DNR Communications and advised of a boat accident victim at Garrett Regional Medical Center. I was also contacted by Sgt. regarding the incident. I arrived at Garrett Regional Medical Center at 1310hrs and contacted the victim and his wife. Victim stated that he was water skiing in the Green Glade Cove area of Deep Creek Lake at 1100hrs.  Victim stated that he fell while skiing sustaining a concussion, and sore neck. Victim indicated that he sustained these injuries when he was attempting to turn with the vessel and fell striking the water face first. Victim was treated for his injuries and released from Garrett Regional Medical Center. 
  
       I contacted the operator of the vessel, and the witness to the accident. Operator indicated that he was operating the vessel at a speed of approximately 30mph at the time Victim fell. Subject1 stated that she was the designated observer and witnessed Victim fall and strike the water face first. Both Operator, and Subject1 indicated that Victim was retrieved from the water and the vessel (MD-3678-LB) then returned to Dock also located in Green Glade Cove. I inspected the vessel and observed that required safety equipment was present, and that the vessel started and went into both forward and reverse properly.
  
       I next contacted Bill's Marine Service the owner of the vessel. Bill's Marine provided me with additional vessel information, and I advised them of the incident and that there appeared to be no damage to their vessel (MD-3678-LB). All events occurred in Garrett County Maryland, and I cleared the incident on 08-02-19 at 1530hrs.
