RedactedNarrative: On August 11, 2018, at approximately 1445 hours, I, Corporal was dispatched to respond to Garrett Regional Medical Center in reference to a subject being treated for an injury sustained while boating on Deep Creek Lake.  I arrived at the hospital at approximately 1515 hours, and met with the victim in the emergency room where he was being treated.  
  
        Subject stated that he had sustained a head injury while being pulled on a tube on Deep Creek Lake, in the area of the Turkey Neck Yacht Club, at approximately noon that day.  Subject's wife stated that she was a passenger on the vessel towing Subject, and showed me a cell phone video that she had recorded that showed the moment of the injury.  In the video, Subject is riding, seated on the right side of an inflatable tube, traveling at approximately 25 to 30 knots.  On the left side of the tube, was a friend.  The tube encountered a wake that tilted the tube so that Tuber1 was above Subject, and momentarily sent Tuber1 into the air.  As Tuber1 came back down onto the tube, she landed so that she struck the left side of Subject's head in the area of his left ear.  Subject sustained a laceration to his left ear, and stated that he momentarily "blacked out", before being pulled back onto the boat.  Subject stated that his son was operating the vessel, a 2016, 22 foot Mastercraft bearing Pennsylvania registration PA 8604 DR, at the time of the incident.  Subject was taken by private vehicle to Garrett Regional Medical Center.
  
        Subject was treated at the hospital for a possible concussion, and will receive stitches to his left ear.  No charges were filed as a result of this investigation.
  
        All these events occurred in Garrett County, Maryland.
