RedactedNarrative: On May 29, 2017 at approximately 18:56 CST I was contacted by Sergeant, and he advised that there had been a boat accident on Nolin River Lake.  He advised me to respond to Dog Creek Campground. I arrived on scene at 19:27 CST to find the event over, and the victim had already been transported, via Air Methods, to the University of Louisville Hospital. I contacted and spoke to a Hart County Sheriff Deputy, who advised me that  he victim was a 15 year old female. He stated that she had fallen off of her "wake board" while being towed behind a vessel, and was unable to move, or feel her lower extremities. I contacted victim’s mother, and set up a time to meet for an interview. 
    On June 2, 2017 at approximately 1800 EST myself and Sergeant, arrived at Victim's residence for an interview. Victim stated that she was coming across the wake of her father's vessel when the front of her board dipped down into the water. She was violently forced face first into the water with her legs being stretched far over her head. When she reemerged from the water, she was in a large amount of pain in her neck, back, and was numb from the waist down. She stated that she was unable to move either of her legs. Fearing the worst, her father pulled her up on their vessel, and drove her back to Dog Creek Campground while her mother called 911. Once at the hospital the doctors advised her that she had a "stinger" injury. Her spinal cord had been stretched out, causing her temporary paralysis. She suffered no visible injuries other than a bruise on her right inner shin and will have no permanent injuries from the incident. A witness statement was taken from all members aboard the vessel and are included in this report. 
    It is this Officer's conclusion that this was truly an accident. Victim stated that she dipped her board the wrong way causing her to be forced into the water violently.
