RedactedNarrative: On 8/20/16 at approximately 1:07 pm, I, Cpl. received a call about a subject being injured on a vessel and taken by ambulance to Union Hospital.  The vessel, 16' Alumacraft, MD 3895 CF, came into Rogues Harbor, Elk Neck State Park.  
  
  I went to Union Hospital, and met up with Victim and his girlfriend.  They advised they were crossing the Elk River Channel around noon, headed back to Rogues Harbor from crabbing when they struck a large wake.  Operator was operating, the vessel traveling at about 8 mph, and Victim was seated on the left side center of vessel on a storage compartment.  When they struck the large wake, Victim was tossed into the air and landed on his back striking the edge of the storage compartment he was seated on.  Victim had extreme pain in his middle to lower back and was unable to stand.  He was back boarded and taken by North east ambulance 492 to Union Hospital.  There, it was determined that he had three broken vertebrae.  He was given pain medicine and released
   
   No damage was done to vessel.  All events occurred in Cecil County Maryland.
