RedactedNarrative: On 06/21/2020 a boating accident occurred in the St. Marks river in Wakulla county Florida at approximately 6:45 PM. One person was transported to Tallahassee Memorial Hospital by Wakulla County EMS. 
  
  The victim had a broken left leg. FWC dispatch received notification of the accident at approximately 8:45 PM after all the parties had already left the scene. The investigation was placed on hold until the next day by Lt.. I, Officer of the FWC conducted a boating accident investigation that resulted in one UBC being issued for careless operation of a vessel. 
  
  Operator was operating a PWC on the St. Marks river between the Newport bridge and the power plant. He was traveling south in the river close to the right (west) side of the river. Subject1 was a passenger on the back of the PWC and he was pulling Subject2 and Victim on a tube behind the PWC. 
  
  The tube started to get too close to the right side of the river near a dock and Operator tried to correct the tubes course to the left. The way he did so slung the tube all the way across the river causing Victim to hit a tree on the left (East) side of the river hard enough to break her leg. Operator immediately turned around to help her. Their father was close by in a vessel and they asked him to come help as well as notifying 911 that they needed help. 
  
  I believe that the main contributing factor to the accident was operator inexperience as well as operating the vessel at speed that was unsafe while pulling a tube in that area. The river is relatively narrow and curvy in that area;  She had a broken femur in her left leg that required surgery to repair.
