RedactedNarrative: On July 23, 2016 at approximately 9:00 p.m., I, Ofc. with the Maryland Natural Resources Police received a call from the NRP CommCenter regarding a boating accident that occurred in the Chester River north of the RT 213 Chester River bridge.  Ofc. contacted the Chester River Hospital and spoke with a hospital employee.  Employee informed Ofc. that a 13 year old boy was tubing on the Chester River and fell off the tube, striking his head on the bottom of the river.  The boy was brought in by his parents at approximately 8:00 p.m. with a closed head injury.  Employee informed Ofc. that the CT Scanner at the hospital was down and that they were transporting the 13 year old boy to Dupont Children's Hospital in Wilmington, Delaware via ambulance
   
  Subject said that the accident occurred at approximately 5:00 p.m.  She said that they were getting ready to head back to Duck Neck Park, located in Queen Anne's county.  As they were pulling the tube with Victim aboard, they made a turn and Victim fell off.  Victim did not complain of any injuries at that time.  After they arrived back at Duck Neck Park, they ate dinner and at approximately 7:30 p.m., Victim began complaining that his head hurt and he threw-up a couple of times.  They took Victim to Chester River Hospital at approximately 8:00 p.m.
   
  Dad arrived at Dupont Hospital at approximately 12:00 a.m. on July 24th, at which time, Ofc. spoke to Dad and obtained information about the accident and the vessel.  Dad said that they were tubing just north of Buckingham Landing in the middle of the Chester River.  There was not a lot of boating activity in the area.  Dad began to make a turn and Victim fell off the tube.  Dad believes that Victim did not strike his head on the bottom of the river, but it was whiplash that caused the injury.  Dad also provided information pertaining to his vessel (2004 Regal 1800).
   
  After Victim was examined, doctor's determined that Victim had a mild concussion and was slightly dehydrated.  Ofc departed the hospital at approximately 1:00 a.m. on July 24th.
