RedactedNarrative: On July 20, 2018, I, RFC at approximately 3:40 PM was notified by Hart County dispatch that a boating incident had occurred near Party Island on Hartwell Lake and EMS was en route to Rock Springs Ramp to assess the injuries.  I told dispatch that I would be en route from my location.  I notified GSP dispatch of the situation.  
  
  I arrived on scene at approximately 4:00 PM and met the ambulance leaving out with the injured subject.  I spoke with the EMS on scene and got a general description of Victim's injuries.  They stated to me that Victim was struck by a vessel and was knocked unconscious.  They stated that when they arrived on scene that Victim had regained consciousness and wanted to refuse treatment but was strongly advised by EMS to be checked out at the hospital.  Victim agreed and was ultimately transported to AnMed in Anderson, SC.
  
  There were two vessels involved in this incident and a total of six persons.  One was an inboard ski-type vessel, further known as vessel 1.  The other vessel was a PWC (personal watercraft), further known as vessel 2.  I spoke with both operators of each vessel.  Vessel 1 operator stated that the two vessels were heading to Party Island and approximately one hundred yards before reaching the island is when the incident occurred.  Operator1 stated that he had come off plane and was at idle speed approaching the island.  Operator1 stated that's when vessel 2 operator hit him from the back of the vessel and ramped it on the left side.
  
  Victim was sitting directly in the path of vessel 2 at the back/left side of vessel 1.
  
  I spoke with Operator2, who is 14 years of age, with the permission of Operator1 and he stated that he was not paying attention to where he was going and hit vessel 1.  Operator2 stated that while approaching the island he was looking at it and did not notice that vessel 1 was at idle speed.  Operator2 stated that his vessel ramped up the other vessel and rolled off.  He stated that he had taken the Boating Education Course and produced his card proving that he had.  I took a photo of it.  
  
  I took notice of vessel 1's damaged and noticed that most of the damage was at the passenger’s side window.  There were two panels and both were busted out.  I also noticed that at the back of the vessel where vessel 2 had ramped it.  There was damage to the side vent, the stern light pole was bent, the canopy structure was bent, and there were scratches at the back and along the gunwale.  I then released all from the scene to follow up with Victim.
  
  On July 22, 2018, I called Operator1 and got an updated report on Victim.  He stated that she was at home now after spending two days at the hospital and everything was going good.  He stated that the doctors found that Victim had a slight brain bleed but released her because it seemed to be just bruising now.  He stated that the doctors gave her medication for seizer's and antibiotics for the bruising and whiplash.  He stated that Victim flew in from Texas to stay for the weekend but is going to stay a few more days.  I got Operator1 to go over with me again what happened and he stated the same as before but added a few more details.  He stated that Operator2 was ejected off of vessel 2 and at the time that was their main concern because they thought that vessel 2 had landed on him as it rolled off of vessel 1.  After determining that Operator2 was fine, that's when they noticed that Victim was unconscious.  Operator1 stated that she was sitting up like she was unharmed.  All the attention was on her at that time.
