       WHEN I ARRIVED I SPOKE WITH OPERATOR#1, WHO WAS OPERATING THE BOAT.  OPERATOR#1 STATED THAT HIS SON AND HIS FRIENDS WERE UP FROM COLLEGE AND THEY WERE SURF BOARDING.  OPERATOR#1 ALSO STATED THAT HIS WIFE AND DAUGHTER WERE ALSO WITH THEM.  OPERATOR#1 STATED THAT VICTIM1 HAD NEVER DONE IT BEFORE AND WANTED TO TRY IT.  HE STATED VICTIM1 TRIED SEVERAL TIMES AND KEPT FALLING DOWN.  HE STATED VICTIM1 THEN WAS ABLE TO STAND ON THE BOARD FOR A FEW SECONDS AND THEN FELL OFF AND STARTED SCREAMING IN PAIN.  OPERATOR#1 STATED THEY PICKED HIM UP INTO THE BOAT AND TRANSPORTED HIM TO SHORE TO MEET AN AMBULANCE.  OPERATOR#1 STATED THE INCIDENT OCCURRED APPROXIMATELY 200 YARDS OUT FROM 340 LN 650BB.  OPERATOR#1 STATED THERE WAS NO FAILURE OF EQUIPMENT AND NO INVOLVEMENT OF ALCOHOL AND/OR DRUGS.  OPERATOR#1 STATED THAT VICTIM1 WAS WEARING A PFD BUT NOBODY ELSE WAS WEARING ONE.

PHOTOGRAPHS OF THE SCENE WERE TAKEN BY ME.

       I THEN WENT TO CAMERON HOSPITAL AND SPOKE WITH VICTIM1.  VICTIM1 STATED TO ME THAT HE WAS SURF BOARDING BEHIND THE BOAT.  HE STATED THAT THIS WAS HIS FIRST TIME DOING THIS.  HE STATED HE TRIED IT A FEW TIMES AND KEPT FALLING.  HE STATED HE DID IT AGAIN AND WAS ABLE TO STAND UP FOR ABOUT 3 SECONDS AND THAT IS WHEN HE WATCHED HIS LEFT LEG BEND AT A 90 DEGREE ANGLE AND HE THEN FELL OFF OF THE BOARD AND INTO THE WATER.  HE STATED THE BOAT WAS GOING APPROXIMATELY 10 MPH.  VICTIM1 STATED THAT HE HAD SURGERY EARLIER THIS SUMMER FOR A BONE CYST IN HIS FEMUR RIGHT ABOVE HIS LEFT KNEE.  HE WAS NOT SURE IF THIS HAD ANYTHING TO DO WITH HIS INJURY OR NOT.  AT THE TIME THAT I WAS AT THE HOSPITAL THERE WAS NOT AN OFFICIAL DIAGNOSIS YET.  
       ON 09-09-16 AT APPROXIMATELY 12:00 PM I SPOKE WITH VICTIM1 ON THE TELEPHONE.  VICTIM1 STATED THAT HE BROKE HIS FEMUR IN HIS LEFT LEG AND HAD SURGERY ON IT THIS PAST WEDNESDAY(09-07-16).  HE STATED HE WAS IN A HOSPITAL IN INDIANAPOLIS AND MIGHT GET RELEASED TODAY.  I ASKED VICTIM1 IF THE PRIOR SURGERY WITH THE CYST HAD ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE RECENT FEMUR BREAK AND HE SAID THE DOCTOR SAID NO.
