RedactedNarrative: On 7-5-15, while on patrol on lake freeman, officer responded to a boat accident in front of the sportsman restaurant.  The dispatch was one pwc was involved and the victim is still in the water.
   
  When we arrived, i jumped off our patrol boat onto the dock.  The victim was now on a pontoon boat that had pulled into a slip at the sportsman restaurant.  The female victim was attempting to stand up and was very disoriented.  I assisted the monticello fire department in carrying the female up the hill to an awaiting ambulance.  The female was transported to a lafayette hospital due to her possible head injury.
   
   
  I talked with operator.  He told me that he was driving the pwc at approximately 50-55 mph going southbound on the lake.  He stated that they hit a large wave which caused the passenger, victim, to slam into him and they both went forward.  When they both went forward it caused him to grab the throttle of the pwc which in turn caused them to hit a second large wave.  The second wave caused the pwc to lean to the right throwing victim off the machine.  Operator stated that he heard a loud thud and thought it was victim's head hitting the side of the pwc.  As operator turned around he observed victim floating face down in the water.  He jumped into the water and turned her over so her face would be out of the water.  That is when a pontoon boat came to the scene and they loaded her onto the pontoon.
   
  I gathered operator and victim's information from operator.  
   
  Later in the day, i talked with operator and he stated that victim has a severe concussion and is going to be kept in the hospital for observation on 7-5-15.  There was no visible damage to the pwc.
