RedactedNarrative: On July 21, 2017 I Corporal responded to the area of Smoke House Cove for a report of a boat accident.  I was unable to get to the location where the accident occurred due to the low tide, and lack of water in the creek.  Corporal responded by land, and advised that there was two subjects involved in the accident.  Occupant was the passenger on the personal water craft and was not injured.  Operator was flown to Peninsula Regional Medical Center for life threatening injuries.  
  
     Occupant advised Corporal that Operator  was operating the PWC.  Both subjects were traveling southeast coming under the bridge and lost steering(likely due to lack of propulsion) and hit a shallow area. Occupant stated that both he and Operator were ejected from the PWC, and that they were going about 20 to 25 mph.  Corporal spoke to Operator's father who advised Corporal that once Operator came out of surgery that it went well, but it would be a while before Operator would be able to discuss the situation.
  
     On July 23, 2017 I made contact with father and he advised me that Operator didn't have any broken bones, just internal injury to his liver.  He said Operator was doing good so far, but he wasn't doing any talking right now just resting. I request that this case remain open for further investigation and for possible charges that may be forthcoming.
