RedactedNarrative: On August 8th 2021 at approximately 0700 hrs EST Beaver Creek Resort was notified of a boating accident with an injury in the area of Buffalo Ridge on Lake Cumberland. Beaver Creek Resort then notified the Wayne County 911 Center and sent two staff members (Witness 1 and Witness 2) to assist with the accident. The two staff members observed a 24 ft Sea Ray floating near the shoreline with the injured (Operator) screaming for help. The staff members recognized him because he had just been into the marina to buy ice approximately 30 minutes prior to the accident. The staff members loaded the injured individual onto their boat and took him back to Beaver Creek Resort to meet Wayne County EMS. The subject told the staff members that he had been going fishing and stepped away from the wheel shortly prior to striking the bank. The staff claimed that the subject was coherent and did not appear to be under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs. The injured subject had notified his wife who then notified Marine Assist. Marine Assist then notified Sgt. 1 of the accident. Sgt. 1 notified Sgt.2 before responding to the accident by patrol boat from Jamestown Marina. Sgt. 2 responded by patrol truck to make contact with the subject at the Wayne County Airport as the subject was being prepped to fly to University of Kentucky Hospital by PHI medical transport. Sgt. 2 stated that the injured was coherent and was able to state that he was the lone occupant on the vessel and that he was the owner of the vessel. Sgt. 2 stated that while speaking with the injured, he was being given pain medication due to a possible broken left arm, broken left shoulder and a severe laceration to his head. The injured was also able to relay where the accident had occurred. Sgt. 2 did not observe any signs of impairment so no sobriety testing was conducted. Sgt. 2 left the Wayne County Airport and met Sgt. 1 at Beaver Creek Resort where both went to the accident scene to meet with Marine Assist. Sgt. 2 was able to observe a large area of fiberglass chips and other debris from the subject's vessel in a crevice on a steep rock ledge. The vessel was still floating at the time of their arrival, as Marine Assist had not secured it yet. Sgt. 1 and Sgt. 2 observed significant damage to the bow section of the vessel that matched the trail of fiberglass and gelcoat on the rock bank. The end of the fiberglass trail was eight and a half feet high on the ledge and travelled approximately fourteen feet. Debris from the vessel including drink containers and a cooler lid had been thrown twenty-five feet from the waterline. Blood was present throughout the vessel and there was no apparent damage to the windshield or the steering wheel. The throttle control was still in the forward gear at approximately three quarters throttle. There was no engine lanyard attached, however the switch was in the run position. An engine lanyard was located in a bag attached to what appeared to be spare keys for the vessel. The vessel contained the required PFDs and other safety equipment as required. The vessel only had an Ohio registration decal on the hull but the vessel was not numbered. The vessel was loaded onto a trailer by Marine Assist and stored at their facility in Jamestown, Ky.
