RedactedNarrative: 	On 11/28/2020 I, Cpl, received a call about a boating accident with injuries on the Altamaha River.  I was told this was a single boat accident with 2 occupants being severely injured.  When I arrived on scene at the Altamaha River Park, both occupants of the vessel had already been transported back to the boat ramp and were being treated by EMS personnel.   It was determined both victims would be taken to the Southeast Georgia Health System in Brunswick.  I did not try to interview either subject because they were attempting to stabilize them for transport.  
  	
  	Subject1 runs the store at Altamaha Park.  Subject1 told me he was in the store talking to a Subject2 when Subject2 got a phone call about the accident.  The two of them jumped in Subject2’s boat and headed down river to the accident location.  
  
  Once on scene Subject1 says he saw Subject3 standing on the river’s edge waving them down.  They found Subject4 laying face down on the ground with a tree between his legs.  Subject1 said it appeared that Subject4’ boat lost control and ran up on the bank.  
  	
  	Subject5 was at the Altamaha Park when the accident happened.  He put his boat in the water and took EMS personnel out to the accident scene. EMS personnel was able to get both loaded up and brought back to the boat ramp.  Game Wardens put a DNR boat in the water and photographed the accident scene.  The boat, a 16-foot-long Polar Kraft stick steer model, was completely out of the water and resting on several cypress knees. 
  
   The boat sustained extensive damage to structure of the hull and the gunwale.  Witnesses from the scene told me they heard Subject4 say it was raining extremely hard, so he leaned forward to pull his hood up around his face.  In doing so, I believe Subject4 may not have realized his boat turned towards the bank.  After all the information was collected from the accident scene, I headed to the hospital to interview the victims.  
  	
  	Once at the Emergency Room, I spoke with Subject3.  Subject4 is the owner of the vessel and was the vessels operator.  Subject3 said her, and her husband left out before daylight to go check their limb lines.  
  
  They were returning to the Altamaha Park when it began to rain heavily.  Subject3 said it was raining so hard she was hunkered over forward with her hood pulled in front of her face.  She said she does not remember feeling the boat change directions before it ran up into the woods.  Once she realized the boat struck something, she was thrown forward into the boat.  
  
  Subject3 sustained a laceration to her forehead which would later require staples.  She said after the accident occurred, she began looking for her husband.  She found her phone in the boat and called a family friend to come help them.  She finally heard her husband answer her when she yelled for him.  She found Subject4 face down several feet in front of the boat.
  
  	I was unable to speak with Subject4 at Southeast Georgia Health System.  He was being loaded up in another ambulance  to go to his forehead and some broken bones in his back.  The Doctor also suspected a spinal cord injury which was causing numbness in legs.  I gave Subject3 one of my business cards and told her I would be in contact in a few days to follow up on the incident.
