RedactedNarrative: On Wednesday, July 04, 2018 I Game Warden received a call from GSP dispatch regarding a PWC (personal water craft) accident on Allatoona Lake near Red Top Mountain State Park. GSP dispatch advised me that a 14 year old male hit a wave and was ejected off his PWC and sustained injuries. The family met Bartow County Fire and EMS at the Sunoco gas station off interstate 75 and Red Top Mountain Road SE. I arrived on scene and Bartow County Fire and EMS were treating the victim for a broken left femur. I spoke with his mother and she told me that her son was riding their PWC on Allatoona lake Near Red Top Mountain State Park when he hit a wave and was ejected off the PWC. When she saw her son’s leg was swollen, they loaded up the PWC’s, called 911 and met EMS at the gas station. 
  
  Subjects told me Operator accelerated and passed them on the port side of the PWC traveling approximately 50-55mph. He hit a large wave caused by another vessel and he jerked the handle bars of the PWC to the right causing the PWC’s port bow to be forced under the water.  The PWC stopped abruptly and the momentum of the sudden stop ejected Operator off the PWC and into the water. Operator’s left leg made contact with the PWC’s handle bars as he was ejected. 
  
  The physician at Cartersville Medical Center told subjects that Operator suffered a femoral shaft fracture. Operator femur was split down the middle of the bone and towards the bottom of the bone it broke in a “Y” shape. The physician said Operator would need surgery to have a metal rod put in his left leg.
  
  I collected all the information for the individuals and took pictures of the PWC Operator was operating. After looking at both PWC’s neither of the PWC’s had damage that would lead me to believe he made contact with another PWC or vessel.  Victim’s mom said that Operator has not taken a boaters education course.
