RedactedNarrative: On 7/17/2021, Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, was on patrol in Clay County, Florida. At approximately 1450 hours, as I was preparing to launch my patrol vessel at Knight’s boat ramp at the confluence of Black Creek and the St. Johns River, I observed two Clay County EMS vehicles enter the boat ramp parking area and make their way towards the outer most ramp.
  	 I approached the ramp and observed a white female, VICTIM, lying on the floor of a boat, FL7411JJ, being operated by a white male, later identified as OP1. As I approached along with EMS, both OP1 and VICTIM advised that they were travelling on Black Creek with OP1 operating and VICTIM riding in the bow area of the vessel. They stated that upon making contact with a large wave or wake, VICTIM was lifted approximately three to four feet in the air and landed on her buttocks, injuring her back. I advised my dispatch of the vessel accident and I assisted EMS with removing VICTIM from the vessel and obtained VICTIM’s and OP1’s information from OP1 as well as took a photo of the vessel.
  	 FWC responded to St. Vincent’s Hospital Clay County, where VICTIM was transported to, and began to take her statement until I arrived. OP1 then arrived at the hospital and also provided a sworn written statement. Both OP1’s and VICTIM’s statements stated the same information given to me at the boat ramp. They advised that the accident occurred on Black Creek, just east of the railroad trestle but were unable to provide an exact location on Black Creek. OP1 and VICTIM gave me permission to then go to their home to further photograph the vessel.
  	I contacted VICTIM several days after the accident via telephone and she advised that she received a CT scan and an MRI but is currently awaiting the results.
  	No further action taken at this time.; VICTIM: On scene at the boat ramp, VICTIM stated that she was in pain in her back and could not move. She was removed from the boat by Clay County EMS and transported to St. Vincent's Hospital Clay County. When I arrived at the hospital, VICTIM was in the emergency room waiting to be seen. She had been given pain medication and was able to move all parts of her body.  	Several days later I attempted to contact OP1 to be updated on VICTIM's condition but was unable. Finally, I was able to make contact with VICTIM via telephone and asked of her injuries. VICTIM stated that she received a CT scan and an MRI but had not received any results and was recovering at home. 	No further information at this time.
