RedactedNarrative: On August 13, 2017, I Cpl. was notified by Georgia State Patrol (GSP) in Gainesville about a boat accident on Lake Lanier at Don Carter State Park.  I was informed that the victim had been transported to North East Georgia Medical Center in Gainesville, Georgia.  I and Cpl. arrived at the hospital and talk to the operator / victim that was involved in the PWC accident. 
  
  Victim told us that she and her friend had just put the two PWC’s in the lake at the public boat ramp.  They were traveling south at about 20 mph down the river and she was on his left side behind him.  She moved out farther to the left of Operator2 to get out of his wake. She noticed Operator2 made a right turn and she also made a right turn.  Operator2 then made a turn left and that’s when she was struck by his PWC on the starboard side. 
  
  We then contacted Operator2. Operator2 told us they had just put the PWC’s on the lake and were headed down stream running about 20 mph. He stated that he looked behind him over his right shoulder and did not see her when he turned to the right.  He then turned back to the left and she was traveling beside him on his port side. Operator2 then made a hard turn back to the right (starboard) to avoid hitting her but made contact with her striking her on the starboard side glancing off the PWC.   No alcohol was involved and both interviews were recorded on my State issued Body camera.
