RedactedNarrative: On 08/22/21 OP1 was operating a PWC on Percy Priest Lake with his daughter sitting in front of him. OP1 believes before the collision with the tree on the shore, that VICTIM’s hand or fingers somehow became caught in the throttle and caused the throttle to be held down. They were close to Pig Island, and due to his wife swimming, and a boat parked on the shore, OP1  was unable to steer the vessel anywhere else. The PWC collided with a tree on the shore of Pig Island on the left front portion of the hull. OP1  believes the handle bars on the PWC turned rapidly on impact and are what actually caused the injury,x an approximately 4 inch cut, on VICTIM upper left thigh. They called for and met Davidson Co. EMS at Smith Springs boat ramp, and VICTIM was transported to Vanderbilt Childrens Hospital.  *** On 08/22/21, I received a call from Nashville Dispatch about a boat accident on Percy Priest Lake at Pig Island, involving a PWC and an injury to a juvenile female. Upon receiving the call, I responded Emergency Traffic to my patrol boat at Four Corners Marina. After reaching Four Corners Marina, I was told by dispatch that the injured party was transported by EMS to Vanderbilt Childrens Hospital. Officers were also on scene at Pig Island and were unable to locate the PWC or involved parties. After learning that information, I left Four Corners Marina and drove to Vanderbilt Childrens Hospital.
  Once I arrived at Vanderbilt, I was directed to the room of VICTIM by front desk staff, as the person who was brought in from the boat accident.
  I entered the room and spoke with OP1, who was the operator of the 2004 SeaDoo. VICTIM and VICTIM'' mother were also present in the room.
  
  OP1 told me they had started on the lake at approximately 1300 on 08/22/21 at Smith Springs ramp. They went out to Pig Island and were there and driving around for approximately 1 hour before the accident happened. At the time of the accident, OP1 was teaching his daughter VICTIM how to drive the PWC. VICTIM was seated on the PWC infront of OP1, handling the throttle, while OP1  was controlling the handlebars. They were keeping the speed below 30mph according to OP1 .
  OP1  believes while they were heading back to Pig Island, around 1430 to 1500 hours, that VICTIM'' fingers or hand somehow got caught in the throttle of the PWC. This caused him to be unable to slow the PWC. They were heading towards the shore of Pig Island. OP1  could not put the PWC into reverse because VICTIM was sitting on the lever to put it into reverse, and he could not steer left or right due to his wife swimming on one side of the shore, and a boat on the other side. Once OP1  realized they were going to hit a tree on the shore, he grabbed VICTIM in his arms, and the PWC made contact with the tree on the left side bow. The handlebars either broke or turned hard during the impact, and OP1  believes that is what caused the laceration to VICTIM'' leg. VICTIM had an approximately 4 inch laceration to her upper left thigh.
  After the accident, they drove to Smith Springs ramp to load the jetski and wait for EMS. EMS transported VICTIM to Vanderbilt Childrens hospital.
