RedactedNarrative: On April 30, 2021 at approximately 1800 hours, I, Game Warden received a call from GSP dispatch in reference to a boating incident on the Altamaha River near the Altamaha River Park in Glynn county. Dispatch informed me that a single boat incident had occurred in which the victim was under the bow of the boat and that the bow of the boat had struck the victim. 
  
  I started en route to Altamaha Park and called Corporal who happened to be nearby and had a patrol boat close. He told me that he would be en route with his patrol boat. When I arrived on scene the victim had just been transported back to the boat ramp by the witness  and was being loaded in the ambulance for transport to highway 341, where life flight was going to transport to Memorial hospital in Savannah.  
  
  I spoke with Corporal, who arrived on scene just a few minutes prior, and he informed me that Sergeant was en route. He also stated that he arrived as the victim was being off loaded from the witness vessel. He also said that the victim was standing on the boat ramp under his own power, with assistance, as EMS personnel put a neck brace on and loaded him on a stretcher. We launched a patrol vessel to follow the witness up river to the location of the vessel and the incident location. When Sgt. arrived we headed up river from the park boat ramp. 
  
  We located the vessel and incident site up river, between gamecock lake and Fort Barrington, on the west side of the river in Glynn county. When we arrived the vessel was floating, but hung up in some limbs and willow branches near the bank. I noticed that the throttle position was in neutral, the kill switch was still connected, the motor was trimmed down, limbs were broken and laying in the boat, there was blood on the driver seat, pool on the floor, blood on the steering wheel, seats, and along some spots of the gunwale, the digital speedometer was reading 83.6 MPH, the Garmin GPS was still on, the key was bent, the hot foot throttle along with some personnel items were thrown under the front deck and all the way up to the bow, impact location and damage to the port bow, fiberglass damage down the starboard gunwale, impact and damage to the front of the motor cowling and parts on the front of the engine, and the fairing from the stern was torn off and laying in the boat. 
  
  The witness said that the victim was the only one in his vessel. He informed us that he was in his boat following Operator1 as they were headed up river at approximately 50-55 MPH. He stated that Operator1 sped up and then all of a sudden his boat made an immediate left. He also said that when that happened it threw Operator1 in the floor of his boat and before he could recover he went under some limbs. 
  
  From Witness's statements and investigation at the scene, the limb tore off the fairing and impacted the front of the outboard as the bow of the boat impacted a cedar tree on the bank. There was damage and paint transfer on the tree and the limbs that were impacted were broke and laying in the boat. 
  
  Witness said that when the impact stopped the vessel, it threw Operator1, feet first, under the bow of his boat. When Witness approached the boat, he said that all he could see was Operator1's head and arms and blood coming from Operator1's head. He was unconscious at the time. Witness said he then called 911 and it took approximately 5 minutes for Operator1 to regain consciousness. Witness was then able to help Operator1 in his vessel and bring him to the park boat ramp. Witness, who is experienced with these types of vessels, believes that the excessive speed and combination of wind gusts at the time, caused the bow of Operator1's vessel to be blown off course and then it fell of the small running surface, "pad,"  which caused the sudden course change to port. Operator1 was not able to recover from being thrown in the floor of his vessel.
