RedactedNarrative: On 5/28/22 at approximately 14:30 hours, I arrived at Van Pugh Park after being dispatched to a boating incident. Once I arrived at the boat ramp there, I was notified by Army Corps of Engineers personnel that the incident had occurred outside of Three Sisters Islands and that all parties involved were en rout to our location.  I was also informed that a subject was on a kayak and was hit by another vessel, and that person had sustained injuries.
  
  An injured person was brought to the ramp by the Gwinnett Fire Department for transport, and I had my partner, LT., get off on the dock with him to get his information.  I was later informed that he was transported to North East Georiga Medical Center Gainesville to treat an injury to his left foot.
  
  At that time I met with Operator1 who was in his vessel with three other occupants nearby.  I gathered statements from Operator1 and the other occupants at that time, which I have attached to this report.  I observed blood on the back seat of the vessel during that time which the occupants attributed to the rescue.  After I gathered all the required information, I left Operator1 and went on shore to observe the victims' Kayak that was being held by the Corps of Engineers.
  
  The kayak appeared to have been hit by a propeller on the bow, and the strike cut from the top of the kayak through the bottom.  There was a clear plastic bag containing keys and a cooler in the kayak.  I stored the kayak at the Department's facility at Aqualand and put the bag with the keys in my vehicle.
  
  On 5/30/22 at 13:00 hours, I visited Operator2 in the hospital and gave him the bag containing the keys.  Operator2 also wrote down a statement which is attached to this report.  He stated that he had surgery on his left foot.  
  
  After speaking with the occupants of both boats, it appears that Operator2 was at Three Sisters Islands paddling back to Van Pugh North.  Operator1's vessel was traveling towards the islands at about 10 to 20 MPH.  Operator1 did not see Operator2 and ran over his kayak.  
  
  Operator2's left foot was injured and his kayak was destroyed due to the incident.  At the conclusion of my investigation, Operator1 received a citation for reckless operation of a vessel.
  
  All video and photographs taken during this investigation are stored on the Department's Visual Labs System.
