RedactedNarrative: On Saturday 01/31/2015 at approximately 2:00 pm, I Officer assisted by Officer responded to the report of an individual who was kayaking and became stranded at White Horse Rapids on the Potomac River. Upon my arrival, I observed a Maryland State Police (MSP) medevac helicopter air lifting the subject off the rapids. The subject was transported to Meritus Medical Center in Washington County for the treatment of hypothermia. At this time, I commuted to Meritus Medical Center to obtain a statement of facts related to the incident. However, Operator was released just prior to my arrival. I obtained Operator's phone number, contacted him and made arrangements to speak with him at his residences that evening. Operator was given a U.S. Coast Guard Recreational Boating Accident Report to complete and return. In addition, I collected a written statement of facts related to the incident.
  
  Operator stated the following:
  
  "My Kayak became broached between two rocks. In an attempt to dislodge it, I exited my Kayak and it floated away. I was forced to swim to another rock where I remained until help arrived. I called 911 from my cell phone. My right foot and leg were very cold as they remained in the water".
  
  As a result of the incident, Operator sustained minor bruising to his left knee.
  
  Operator's vessel was recovered down river later that evening and sustained no damage.
  
  All events occurred in Washington County, Maryland.
