RedactedNarrative: On July 25, 2020, at approximately 1600 hours, I (Corporal) received a text message from the Laura S. Walker state park manager. The message contained a screenshot of a conversation from a third party suggesting that a boating incident had occurred at the park. I learned EMS had responded to Wal Mart off Memorial drive and transported one subject to Satilla Memorial hospital in Waycross for treatment caused due to being struck by a vessel.
  
  I arrived at Memorial Satilla Health hospital at approximately 1640 hours. As I pulled into the parking lot of the emergency room, I was met by Operator1. Operator1 stated he was the operator of a blue Seadoo jet ski (GA0857MT).  His wife was on the back of the jet ski as a spotter. He stated that while pulling his teenage son and his daughter's boyfriend on a tube behind the jet ski he started making a left turn early due to the number of boats in the area.  
  
  As he straightened out his turn, the tube traveled from left to right crossing over the PWC’s wake striking another vessel.  Operator1 said that the vessel must have come from the campground or something because he nor his wife never saw it. After the tube struck the vessel, Operator1 jumped off the jet ski and the operator of the struck vessel assisted him with getting Subject1 onto his vessel while Subject2 was able to get to the jet Ski.  
  
  Both subjects were carried to the shore to a waiting car to transport them to the hospital. While talking to Operator1, a female walked up and stated that she was the grandmother of Subject2. 
   
  I was able to obtain written statements from Operator1s and grandmother at the hospital.  I then met with Subject1’s parents.  Subject1 was sedated at the time and was unable to provide any information.  His parents stated that he had a skull fracture and his right-side orbital bone was also fractured.  
  
  Due to his injuries, he was transported to Savannah by ambulance for further treatment. I then located Subject2 and his mother. I asked Subject3 if she would give me a statement and she stated that she could not read very well but agreed to record her statement.  According to Subject3, she was on the back of the jet ski as a spotter.   She said they were making a left-hand turn when the tube hit another vessel.  
  
  According to Subject3, she never saw the other vessel while making the turn.  After impact, her husband swam to Subject1, put him on the vessel that was struck, and she took Subject2 to the other side of the lake with the jet ski. I asked Subject2, who is a minor, if he was ok and if he knew what happened. 
  
  Subject2 said that he was ok and that it happened so fast that he did not know what happened. I then asked Subject3 what the extent of Subject2's injuries were, she replied Subject2 had a goose egg on the back of his head and the hospital was waiting on the result of his CT scan.
