RedactedNarrative: On Tuesday, July 5, 2022, I, CPO, received information about a person at the local hospital in Clinton, IL who was involved in a waterskiing incident. I arrived to the emergency room and talked to the skier, Injured. Injured's mother was present in the room as well.
  
  Injured explained to me he was skiing on Clinton Lake and wiped out. He hit the water while wearing a PFD and when he surfaced, he was bleeding from his right ear. He also had pain to his right jaw. Injured told me he suffered a deeply cut right earlobe and a hairline fractured jaw. No other injuries were found. Injured stated, Operator1 was operating his boat as it towed him on two skis. I obtained Operator's contact information and met him at the boat launch.
  I met Operator near his boat at the Mascoutin Boat launch. Operator told me there were 7 people onboard and Injured was out skiing [8 total]. Operator said they were skiing west of the marina but east of the dam rocks. Operator said he was turned and headed southeast with Injured in tow. He was told by another passenger Injured went down, so he turned around to pick Injured up. Once they arrived to Injured, Operator saw Injured's ear bleeding and immediately got him in the boat and provided pressure to the wound. Operator drove them back to the dock and transported Injured to the nearest emergency room
