RedactedNarrative: On Sunday July 2, 2017 at approximately 8:23am I (Officer) received a call to respond to Paradise Point on Deep Creek Lake for a boat accident involving and injured water skier from Maryland Natural Resources Police dispatch.  While in route, Sgt. directed me to meet the victim at Garrett Memorial Hospital. Sgt. collected the information for the vessel, owner, operator and observer from the scene of the accident. After reaching Garrett Memorial Hospital, I met with the victim’s husband. 
  
  Victim’s husband said that he was not on the boat or with his wife but she hurt her back attempting to get up on her skis. Victim’s husband went on to say that his wife has had back issues in the past from water skiing. The victim arrived at the hospital via Garrett County ambulance and was admitted to the ER for further testing. I met with Sgt. at the hospital and gathered the information he acquired. 
  
  The operator and owner of the boat has over 50 years of boating experience and was operating his 2000; Correct Craft pleasure boat off of Paradise Point on Deep Creek Lake.  The observer was seated next to operator. I called Garrett Memorial hospital at approximately 11:00am and the staff advised me that Victim was waiting on X-rays. I then called back at approximately 1:30pm. The staff said that Victim was released and sustained a lumbar fracture. All event occurred in Garrett County, Maryland
