RedactedNarrative: DNR LED received information of this boating incident a few days after the fact via social media. Sgt. informed me of the incident and gathered information as he could from the victim's mother. Subject and her daughter, victim, were at Scottish Rite Hospital in Atlanta receiving treatment. I spoke with Subject and made arrangements to meet with them and the other parties involved on August 3rd after Victim would be released from the hospital. I first received a verbal account of the incident and then gathered statements from all parties involved.
  
  	Vessel A was occupied by three adults, the operator and 2 passengers and was towing two juveniles on a tube along the Oconee River portion of Lake Sinclair. The incident occurred at the mouth of a cove on the Hancock County side of the Lake approximately a mile south of Crooked Creek Marina. Vessel A was traveling approximately 20-30 mph and was making a large turn when the tube struck a large wake. Once the tube struck the wake, both passengers of the tube were ejected into the air and came down face first into the water. Vessel A immediately went to the aid of the juveniles of which the victim was face down in the water unresponsive. The victim was retrieved. The victim began being responsive but showed signs of confusion, nausea as well as paralysis to her right side. 911 was contacted and first responders as well as an ambulance responded and transported the victim to The Medical Center of Central Georgia in Macon.
  
  	Based on the extent of the victim's injuries, the activity she was involved with at the time and the depth of the water, it is believed the victim struck an unknown floating or submerged object in the water. The object very well could have been stationary or not. According to the discharge papers from the hospital, the victim received an altered mental status, traumatic brain injury as well as a subdural hematoma to the left side crown area. The victim will receive periodic treatment as needed to monitor her recovery.
