RedactedNarrative: On 8/30/20 at approximately 5:49 pm a boating incident occurred involving two personal watercrafts (pwcs) in flat swamp creek on high rock lake. 
  
  After the two pwcs met on the water, the red pwc began to head north and subject1 fell off of the rear seat of vessel 1. Vessel 2 initially headed south, spun around, and began heading north. Vessel 2''s operator, operator2, did not see that subject1 had fallen off of vessel 1 and he struck subject1 in the head with vessel 2.

Vessel 1 headed north and vessel 2 turned around to follow vessel 1. Vessel 2 did not see that subject1 had fallen off vessel 1. Vessel 2 struck subject1 causing serious injuries to her head and face. Another boat with multiple individuals stopped to help subject1 out of the water, called 911, and brought her back to the shore. Davidson county ems along with wildlife law enforcement officer arrived on scene and subject1 was transported to brenner children''s hospital emergency department in winston-salem, nc.
