RedactedNarrative: On 07/03/16 while on routine boat patrol I received a call for a female subject that had suffered a possible head injury related to a boat accident on the Chester River.  The subject was later identified.  She was taken to the University of Maryland Medical Center in Chestertown, MD.  I responded by land from Kent Narrows in Queen Anne's County.  
   
        I arrived at the hospital at approximately 1530 hours and met with Victim.  She had suffered a contusion on her left cheek and it was very swollen.  I spoke with her and she told me what little information she could remember.  She told me that her husband was the operator and a friend was on board also.  Her husband arrived at the hospital at approximately 1610 hours along with the other passenger.  Operator completed a witness statement and told me he was the operator at the time of the incident.  Operator told me he was in route to Rolph's Wharf landing located on the Chester River near Chestertown, MD.  He told me another boat heading in the opposite direction produced a large wake and when his boat hit the wake it caused Victim to fall down.  He told me she was standing in front of the console between the split windshield and she possibly hit her head on the side of the windshield.  He told me that Victim lost consciousness for a minute or two and her left cheek began to swell instantly.  He told me that the other passenger called 911 and he proceeded to Rolph's Wharf to meet EMS.
   
        Operator told me once Victim was in route to the hospital he returned to Centreville public landing to load the boat on a trailer.  He then proceeded to the hospital along with occupant where I met them.  I took several photos of the boat and collected personal information from all subjects.
   
        This case is closed and there will be no charges filed.  All events occurred in Queen Anne's County, Maryland.
