RedactedNarrative: 	On 05/16/2020 I, Corporal, was conducting a routine patrol at Barrington Boat Ramp on Harper Lake, part of the Altamaha River.  I noticed a red and white personal watercraft approaching the landing being operated by a male with no personal floatation device on.   As I exited my patrol vehicle, I noticed the female passenger looked to be in distress.  The male was yelling for someone to call 911.  I ran to the waters edge to assess what was going on when I noticed the female’s right leg had a severe laceration in the area of her thigh.  
  	
  	Subject said there was an accident on the river and that his wife was hit by another PWC.  I returned to my patrol vehicle to radio in the information I had received and got EMS in route.  I returned to the boat ramp to find several people had gathered with all the commotion going on.  A female advised she was a nurse and began trying to address the wound on Victim’ leg.  A shirt was placed over the wound and then taped on to keep pressure on Victim’ leg.  I advised EMS we would meet them at the paved road to avoid any confusion as to where they were going.  Barrington can be hard to find if you’ve never been there before.  Victim was loaded up in a pickup truck and driven out to Cox Road where we awaited EMS arrival.  
  	
  	Once the EMS arrived on scene the paramedics helped remove Victim from the back seat of the pickup truck and placed her on a stretcher.  Victim was physically nauseous and vomited several times.  I noticed a strong smell of an alcoholic beverage coming from about her person while she was on the stretcher.  The paramedics decided life flight would be the best means to get Victim to a hospital.  Victim was flown to Memorial Health, 4700 Waters Avenue Savannah, GA 31404.  After Victim was in the back of the ambulance, I returned to Barrington to begin interviewing witnesses.
  	
  	The first person I spoke with was the registered owner to both personal watercrafts involved.  Neither personal watercraft had a visible registration number displayed.  Subject said both PWC’s were brand new and he had the temporary authorization numbers for both on his phone.  I began asking Subject about the accident.  At first Subject told me Victim was a passenger on the PWC, and he didn’t know who was driving the other PWC.  I challenged Subject about his initial story and asked him if he knew who was driving either PWC.  Subject told me his wife was driving one and her brother was driving the other.  He said the PWC’s were traveling in opposite directions when they collided.  Subject said Operator1 Victim hit a wake causing him to spin into Operator2, causing the accident.  
  
  	Next, I spoke with Operator1 Victim.  Operator1 said he was operating the PWC going in the same direction as Operator2 in an over taking manner when she turned a little causing him to have to turn to avoid hitting her.  In doing so, the PWC he was driving struck her on her thigh causing a severe laceration.  
  
  	No one else actually witnessed the accident happen, they just heard the collision and reacted.  I had Game Warden Quinton Reed go to the Memorial Hospital in Savannah and get a written statement from Victim as well as ask for consent for a blood draw due to the fact that I believed alcohol was a factor in this accident.  Her statement did not give anymore details about what happened during the incident than I had already been told.  Victim would not give consent for a voluntary blood draw, so I had Game Warden serve Victim with a search warrant for her blood signed by State Court Judge.  After the blood-kit was completed all Game Wardens went 10-8.   
  
  	On 06/08/2020 the Georgia Bureau of Investigation Crime Lab sent me the results of the blood draw.  She had a BAC of .061 grams per 100 liters nearly 6 hours after the incident.
