RedactedNarrative: On July 2nd 2016 at approximately 18:00, I, Officer, received a call from dispatch advising of a boating accident on South Holston Lake in Sullivan County, TN.   Dispatch advised of a single personal watercraft accident in Big Jacobs Creek.  I arrived on scene to find a white female being treated by bystanders on a teak platform of a vessel.  The PWC had already been taken from the scene by the owner.  Operator was found to be the operator of a 2010 Kawasaki PWC registration TN 8805 EA.  Two other individuals on scene were found to be occupants of the PWC.   The occupants received no injuries.   Sullivan County EMS arrived on scene to treat Operator.   Operator refused to be transported to Bristol Medical Center.        
  
  Based on Statements:
  Operator was operating the PWC with Occupant1 sitting behind her and Occupant2 was riding in the rear.  The three departed Painter Creek Marina and headed to Big Jacobs Creek.  Operator was operating at an estimated 20-40 miles per hour.  When the vessel entered Big Jacobs Creek they encountered a large wake.  The wake caused the PWC to go airborne, and when the PWC landed the two occupants were ejected.

Operator impacted the steering handles with her face.  Operator was rendered unconscious.  Operator was wearing a cut off lanyard.  Operator rolled off the PWC and down the bank into the edge of the water. Operator was face up and regained consciousness.  Other vessels in the area came to the scene and put Operator on a teak plat form until medical arrived.  The vessel owner retrieved the PWC and took it back to Cochrans Camp ground, due to the damage to the PWC.  Operator refused ambulance transport to the hospital.
